Introduction 

THE  belief  that  every  citizen  of  Aurora,  Illinois,  may 
well  he  proud  of  the  glorious  record  of  our  city  during 
the  World's  War  and  that  its  achievements  deserve  to 
be  perpetuated  in  the  years  to  come,  has  caused  this  book  to 
be  compiled. 

Thirty-six  hundred  men  and  women,  ten  per  cent  of  its 
population,  not  only  answered  the  call  to  arms,  but  performed 
deeds  of  valor  on  land  and  sea,  even  to  the  extent  of  giving 
their  lives  for  the  preservation  of  our  beloved  nation. 

Aurora  men  and  women  took  an  active  part  in  all  branches 
of  the  service,  from  the  private  and  "gob"  to  the  positions  of 
Major  General  and  Rear  Admiral,  besides  being  engaged  in 
every  line  of  important  work  connected  with  the  successful 
ending  of  the  war. 

At  home,  the  second  line  of  defense  was  maintained  by 
such  a  high  degree  of  patriotism  toward  the  whole  nation  and 
loyalty  to  its  warriors  on  the  field  that  all  may  point  with 
pride  to  the  fact  that  every  proposition,  tending  in  the  slight- 
est degree  to  "finish  the  job"  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  Amer- 
ican people,  was  quickly  and  effectually  put  "over  the  top"  in 
record  time. 

The  author  gratefully  acknowledges  the  valuable  assistance 
rendered  by  many  Aurora  citizens  in  the  work  of  preparing 
this  book. 

It  has  been  the  author's  earnest  endeavor  to  compile  a 
complete  and  correct  history  of  Aurora's  part  in  the  war  and 
to  omit  nothing,  but  if  anything  worthy  of  commendation  has 
been  overlooked,  it  is  due  to  inadvertence  and  not  intention.

This  beautiful  lyric  of  the  war  was  written  by 
Lieutenant  Colonel  Dr.  John  McCrae  of  Montreal, 
Canada,  while  the  second  battle  of  Ypres  was  in 
progress. 

The  author's  body  now  lies  buried  in  Flanders 
fields. 

As  an  inspiration  to  war  giving  and  war  sacri- 
fice, it  strikes  a  major  note.  There  is  no  war 
appeal  to  which  it  is  not  applicable.

The  French  "75"  "Aurora" 


This  French  "75"  cannon  christened  "Aurora"  by  Battery  D,  124th  Field  Artil- 
lery, 33rd  Division,  to  which  it  was  attached,  did  itself  proud  during  the  great  war 
with  a  record  of  4860  shots  of  shrapnel  and  high  explosive  shells  at  the  German  forces 
despite  the  fact  that  twice  it  was  put  out  of  commission  by  shots  from  the  Hinden- 
burg  line. 

This  picture  was  taken  just  after  the  famous  gun  had  been  repaired  the  second 
time  by  the  108th  Mobile  Ordnance  Repair  Shop  unit  of  the  33rd  Division  and  was 
being  sent  back  to  Bat.  D,  124th  Field  Artillery  to  finish  up  the  Argonne  fight. 

Both  times  the  "Aurora"  was  forced  to  quit  the  game  it  was  evacuated  and  luck- 
ily its  repair  fell  to  the  lot  of  the  108th  Mobile  Ordnance  Repair  unit,  of  which  Frank 
Haver  of  Aurora  was  First  Srgt.  Under  rush  orders  Srgt.  Haver  had  all  of 
his  crew  work  continuously  until  the  "old  bird"  was  again  ready  for  action  and 
taken  back  to  its  place  in  Battery  D.  Srgt.  Haver  can  be  seen  kneeling  in  front  of

Third  Illinois  Leaves 


At  8:45  o'clock  on  the  morning  of  September  13,  1917,  the  Third  Illinois  Infan- 
try, the  heroes  of  the  Porto  Rico  campaign  of  the  Spanish  American  War  in  1898, 
and  of  the  Mexican  Campaign  of  1916,  under  the  command  of  Col.  Charles  Greene, 
marched  out  of  the  Regimental  Armory  on  its  first  lap  of  the  journey  to  France. 

Headed  by  members  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  and  City  officials,  the 
Headquarters,  Supply,  Machine  Gun,  and  D  and  I  companies,  composed  of  367  of 
Aurora's  sons,  marched  with  anxious  step  through  the  crowded  streets  amid  the  fare- 
well cries  of  thousands  and  thousands  of  relatives  and  friends  to  the  Burlington 
station  to  entrain  for  Camp  Logan,  Texas 


[184] 


Third  Infantry  Train 


Twenty  thousand  people  bade  adieu  to  the  five  companies  of  the  Third  Illinois 
Infantry,  when  it  departed  from  Aurora  at  9'o'clock  on  the  morning  of  September 
13,  1917,  for  their  training  camp,  Camp  Logan,  Houston,  Texas.  Realizing  that 
on  the  five-day  journey  into  the  southland,  the  boys  would  have  scant  fare  on  the 
forty  cents  a  day  subsistence  furnished  by  the  government,  Mrs.  J.  K.  Groom  by 
energetic  soliciting  gathered  together  and  loaded  on  the  train  for  their  use  200 
pounds  of  roast  meat,  668  loaves  of  bread,  30  pounds  of  butter,  400  rolls,  three  boxes 
of  crackers,  50  pounds  of  cheese,  40  cakes,  150  dozen  doughnuts,  350  dozen  cookies, 
12  gallons  of  pickles,  40  pounds  of  chocolate,  a  great  quantity  of  fruits  and  gum, 
200  towels  and  $25  in  money  to  be  used  in  buying  hot  coffee,  so  that  the  Aurora  sol- 
diers were  able  to  eat  in  plenty  on  the  long  journey. 


[185] 


The  129th  Welcomed  Home 

Shortly  after  3  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  of  June  2,  1919,  as  the  whistles  and 
bells  of  the  city  began  to  sound  in  unison  throughout  Aurora,  three  great  passenger 
trains  loaded  down  with  smiling-faced  soldier  boys,  pulled  into  the  Burlington  sta- 
tion— the  famous  129th  Infantry— the  boys  whom  the  fighting  Australians  pro- 
nounced as  "a  bit  rough"  were  home,  once  again  in  the  arms  of  their  relatives  and 
friends  after  being  victors  over  the  cream  of  the  German  Army  and  now  ready  to 
lay  aside  the  weapons  of  war  forever.  Sixty  thousand  people  from  not  only  Aurora 
but  the  whole  of  the  Fox  River  Valley  were  here  to  welcome  home  this  band  of 
prairie  warriors  and  fete  them  the  few  hours  they  were  to  remain  in  town  before 
continuing  on  to  Camp  Grant  for  discharge.  Marching  through  the  city  with  the 
same  measured  tread  and  battle  equipment  with  which  they  marched  along  the 
Somme  River  and  through  the  Argonne  to  meet  the  Goliath  of  Europe  a  few  months 
before,  they  were  served  with  luncheon  at  West  Aurora  by  the  same  energetic  force 
of  Red  Cross  workers  who  had  for  months  devoted  hours  and  hours  preparing  camp 
and  hospital  equipment  for  the  thousands  in  the  service.  Every  man  in  the  regi- 
ment was  served  with  sandwiches,  fruit,  pickles,  cake  and  coffee  until  they  could 
stand  no  more,  when  the  trains  pulled  out  on  its  last  run  to  end  their  war  service. 


[186] 


On  June  10,  1919,  upon  their  discharge  from  the  service  and  return  home,  the 
129th  regiment  was  banqueted  in  Sylvandell  by  the  129th  Regiment  Home  Folks 
Association  of  Aurora,  Illinois,  the  following  menu  being  served  under  the  chair- 
manship of  Mrs.  J.  K.  Groom.

ACCORDING  to  War  Department  records,   the  fighting  men   and 
units  of  the  army  and  navy  came   from  the  prairie  and  farming 
section  known  as  the   Mississippi  Valley,  in  which  Aurora  is  lo- 
cated.    Many  of  the  3,600  in  the  service  from  this  town  distinguished 
themselves  with  their  commands  but  we  are  only  able  to  obtain  the  fol- 
lowing who  were  among  those  cited  for  exceptional  work.

CHRISTIAN   JOY   PEOPLES 


Rear  Admiral,  Supply  Corps,  United  States  Navy;  son  of  Robert  A.  and  Lydia  Love  Peo- 
ples; born  in  Iowa,  October  17,  1876;  his  parents  moving  to  Aurora,  the  home  of  their 
birth;  the  rear  admiral  received  his  early  schooling  in  the  Brady  School  of  this  city;  gradu- 
ated from  school  in  California  and  received  his  appointment  to  Annapolis  Naval  Academy 
after  an  apprenticeship  in  the  Navy  Yard,  Mare  Island,  California,  where  he  won  his  com- 
mission in  the  supply  corps  in  a  competitive  examination. 

He  has  seen  service  at  the  Naval  Stations,  Mare  Island,  California,  and  Puget  Sound,  Wash- 
ington, and  has  cruised  in  Philippine,  Japanese  and  Chinese  waters.  Ordered  to  duty  in  the 
Navy  Department,  he  established  the  purchase  system  of  the  Supply  Department  of  the  Navy; 
also  the  Navy  standard  specification  system  and  the  Navy  standard  system  of  supplying  coal, 
oil  and  gasoline  for  the  Fleet.  Under  the  command  of  Captain  William  S.  Benson,  later 
Chief  of  Naval  Operations,  he  placed  the  Utah  in  commission,  cruising  for  three  and  a  half 
years  irt  Atlantic,  Caribbean  and  Mediterranean  waters.  During  this  cruise,  he  served  on  the 
staff  of  Admiral  F.  F.  Fletcher  as  Commissary  Officer  during  the  occupation  of  Vera  Cruz. 

Again  ordered  to  duty  in  the  Navy  Department  in  August,  1914,  as  Chief  Assistant  to 
Rear  Admiral  Samuel  McGowan,  the  Chief  of  the  Supply  Department  of  the  Navy,  which 
established  a  record  for  efficiency  during  the  war,  his  special  duty  was  the  preparation,  super- 
vision and  execution  of  the  plans  for  the  supply  of  the  Fleet  at  home  and  abroad,  with  all 
that  related  to  the  purchase,  custody,  shipment  and  issue  of  clothing,  provisions,  engineering, 
hull,  navigational,  ordnance  and  fuel  supplies  for  the  Fleet  and  for  shore  stations  at  home 
and  abroad. 

He  was  also  identified  with  the  War  Industries  Board  and  was  the  Navy  Representative 
on  the  Exports  Control  Committee,  whose  mission  was  to  connect  up  the  Fleet  of  cargo  vessels 
with  the  railroads  in  the  shipment  of  munitions  through  the  various  Atlantic  range  ports  (and 
to  avoid  congestion  therein)  to  our  Army  in  France  and  to  our  naval  forces  in  the  North 
Sea  and  in  the  Mediterranean. 

In  January,  1918,  the  Secretary  of  the  Navy  selected  him  for  the  permanent  rank  of  Rear 
Admiral  in  the  Supply  Corps  of  the  Navy — the  youngest  man  upon  whom  that  honor  has  yet 
been  conferred.

U.  S.  NAVY  RECRUITING  STATION 

608  SOUTH  DEARBORN  STREET 
CHICAGO,  ILL. 


Mr.  J.  W.  Greenaway, 
Aurora,  Illinois. 

Sir: 

As  a  testimonial  to  the  patriotism  and  progressiveness  of 
the  City  of  Aurora  during  the  course  of  the  War,  this  is  to 
certify  that  to  the  best  of  our  knowledge  the  greatest  per- 
centage of  recruits  for  the  Navy  from  the  Central  Division 
was  obtained  from  that  city.  These  men  were  stationed  not 
only  at  the  stations  ashore,  but  also  performed  duty  at  sea  on 
vessels  where  service  was  most  hazardous. 

Since  the  War  some  of  these  men  have  remained  on  active 
service,  while  those  who  returned  to  civil  life  have  found  that 
their  training  while  in  the  Naval  Service  has  been  of  great 
assistance  to  them. 

Very  truly  yours, 

F.  R.  BERG,  Lt.  Comdr.  U.  S.  N.

message  in  case  the  first  bird  was  killed  in  its  flight.  Both  birds  were  suc- 
cessful in  the  delivery  of  the  messages,  though  "Pretty  Baby"  was  killed 
later  by  mistake  of  an  American  soldier,  believing  it  to  be  a  German  bird. 
"Gunpowder"  continued  carrying  messages  throughout  the  war,  many 
times  through  shell  and  gas  battles,  and  after  the  armistice,  was  returned 
to  this  country,  being  now  located  in  Capt.  Carney's  loft  at  Pittsburgh, 
Pa. 

On  October  14,  1917,  on  orders  from  the  War  Department,  Herman 
Moser,  Aurora's  leading  pigeon  fancier,  shipped  twenty  homing  pigeons 
to  Fort  Wood,  New  York,  from  where  they  were  transferred  to  Bedloe's 
Island  for  training.  Among  the  twenty  birds  was  the  three-month-old 


[212] 


"Gunpowder,"  whose  ancestors  had  established  records  for  flying  over 
1,000  miles.  On  Dec.  10,  1917,  the  birds  were  shipped  to  France  on  the 
deck  of  a  small  vessel,  the  only  protection  offered  being  a  tarpaulin  with 
which  the  four  soldiers  kept  them  covered.  Landing  at  St.  Nazaire  they 
were  shipped  to  a  loft  in  Paris  and  on  February  22  were  transferred  to  a 
loft  in  Corneville  in  the  Toul  Sector  for  final  training.  On  March  17,  1918, 
Sergeant  Swanker  was  able  to  supply  three  trench  posts  with  four  birds 
each  for  liasion  service,  from  the  4,000  birds  at  the  Corneville  loft.  On 
its  arrival  at  the  trenches,  "Gunpowder"  was  immediately  dispatched  to 
the  Divisional  Headquarters  at  Boucq  with  information.  The  message 
was  in  cipher,  enclosed  in  a  small  tube  attached  to  the  left  leg,  and  as  per 
regulations  a  duplicate  of  the  message  was  sent  by  a  second  bird  five  min- 


FRENCH   MOBILE  PIGEON  LOFT 


utes  after.  According  to  the  records  of  the  War  Department,  the  hom- 
ing pigeons  played  a  most  important  part  in  the  war,  proving  the  best 
messengers  under  battle  conditions  when  it  was  a  difficult  task  to  maintain 
communications  in  the  army.  Not  one  important  message  entrusted  to 
the  homing  pigeons  for  delivery  went  astray  during  the  war.  These  birds, 
of  which  there  were  1,200  in  service  in  the  St.  Mihiel  and  Argonne  en- 
gagements, were  transported  about  France  in  mobile  lofts,  each  contain- 
ing 60  birds. 

Mr.  Moser  was  the  only  pigeon  fancier  west  of  Chicago  to  furnish 
birds  for  service  in  France  and  later  furnished  many  birds  for  stocking 
the  military  lofts  at  Camp  Grant,  Municipal  Pier,  Chicago,  Fort  Sam 
Houston,  Texas,  Southern  Flying  Field,  Georgia,  and  the  University  of 
Wisconsin  at  Madison,  Wis.

Aurora  Chapter,  American 
Red  Cross 


IN  MARCH,  1917,  a  group  of  public  spirited  women,  with  the  mem- 
bers of  the  "Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution,"  realizing  that 
because  of  the  launching  of  the  terrible  submarine  warfare  by  the 
German  naval  authorities  against  this  country,  with  utter  disregard  of  all 
existing  treaties,  heretofore  made  by  the  German  Imperial  Government, 
this  country  would  soon  be   forced  to  defend  its  honor  with  the   allied 
nations,  met  and  established  a  Red  Cross  workroom  in  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
building,  with  Mrs.  J.  K.  Groom  as  chairman  in  direct  charge. 


Enlisting  the  support  of  the  Aurora  Elks  Club  and  other  public  spirited 
and  patriotic  citizens  and  organizations  in  the  cause,  the  interest  grew  in 
the  great  work,  until  by  authority  of  the  National  Headquarters,  the  first 
meeting  for  organizing  the  Aurora  Chapter  of  the  American  Red  Cross 
was  held  on  May  14,  1917.  On  May  20th,  the  work  of  organization  was 
completed  with  the  election  of  officers,  the  absorbing  of  the  original  work- 
shop organization  and  the  selection  of  a  working  committee,  composed  of 
Mrs.  Grace  Bliss,  Mrs.  W.  S.  Frazier,  Mrs.  Martha  Mathewson,  Mrs. 
Charles  Stevenson  and  Miss  Louise  Aldrich.  This  working  committee  was 
later  enlarged  by  adding  Mrs.  W.  E.  Gillette,  Mrs.  F.  J.  Knight,  Mrs.  E. 
D.  Terry,  Mrs.  Myra  Stolp,  Mrs  Elizabeth  Kapferer,  Mrs.  Alice  Crego, 
Mrs.  Esther  Chapman,  Mrs.  Thomas  Peaks,  Mrs.  A.  T.  Newtson,  Miss 
Lucy  Carr,  Mrs.  Maude  Thompson  and  Mrs.  Vincent  Hatch.

ceiver of  the  Yeomen  of  America  the  former  headquarters  building  of  that 
society  in  Main  Street;  the  campaign  committee,  under  E.  F.  Schoeberlein, 
launched  a  campaign  for  new  members  throughout  the  factories  and  resi- 
dence portion  of  the  city,  which  resulted  in  enlisting  5000  persons  to  the 
cause.  The  finances  consisted  of  the  membership  dues,  $2000.00  realized 
on  Tag  Day,  July  4,  1917,  together  later  with  monthly  pledges  from  the 
citizens  throughout  the  city,  and  benefits  given  by  Church,  social,  fraternal, 
card  and  dancing  societies  and  clubs  in  all  sections  of  the  city.  Upon  the

Influenza  Epidemic,  appointed  in  1918,  when  during  the  epidemic  there 
was  a  shortage  of  nurses  and  a  critical  situation  in  many  homes  of  the 
city.  Trained  nurses  were  brought  in  from  outside,  and  as  many  prac- 
tical nurses  secured  as  were  available.  A  bureau,  established  to  distribute 
this  nursing-service  and  foods,  was  prepared  in  schools  and  churches  and 
the  same  were  distributed  about  the  city  where  needed,  the  entire  expenses 
being  borne  by  the  Chapter,  except  in  cases  where  the  family  was  able 
and  willing  to  pay.  At  this  time,  40  families  consisting  of  160  members, 
were  cared  for.

The  Chairman  and  Committee  of  the  Home  Service  Department  took 
care  of  the  work  from  its  inauguration  in  January,  1918,  until  October, 
1918,  when  the  work,  becoming  more  complex  and  increasing  rapidly,  a 
secretary,  who  was  a  trained  social  worker,  was  employed.  The  volun- 
teer investigators  were  trained  in  the  Home  Service  Institute  held  in 
Aurora  in  January,  1918.  The  department  followed  the  policy  outlined 
for  it  by  the  Central  Division  and  has  proven  a  live  department,  meeting

VICE  CHAIRMAN,  AURORA  CHAPTER  RED  CROSS 

In  all  classes  conducted  by  the  Educational  Committee  doing  the  reg- 
ular work  and  working  for  a  certificate,  a  fee  was  charged,  the  instructor

ment. 

Three  classes  for  Home  Care  of  the  Sick  with  forty-six  pupils  were 
organized  before  the  Educational  Committee  was  appointed,  the  Chapter 
giving  authority  to  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  to  form  these  classes,  which  com- 
plied with  Red  Cross  requirements,  the  certificates  being  received  from 

Washington. 

WORKSHOP 

The  Workshop  organization,  responsible  for  the  making  of  all  sup- 
plies, was  divided  into  departments  and  committees  with  Mrs.  Grace  E. 
Bliss,  as  general  manager  over  all,  with  authority  from  the  executive  com- 
mittee to  vary  her  organization,  as  the  needs  required. 

What  a  wonderful  organization  this  energetic  woman  and  her  co- 
workers  perfected  in  a  short  time  is  well  known  to  our  citizens,  and  the 
work  accomplished  by  them  and  the  units,  together  with  individual  work- 
ers, is  best  evidenced  by  the  statistics  transmitted  to  the  General  Head- 
quarters of  the  American  Red  Cross,  as  follows:

in  knitting  was  given  as  long  as  there  was  need,  and  most  of  this  work 
was  done  outside  of  the  central  workshop.  For  making  surgical  dress- 
ings, in  addition  to  the  central  workshop,  two  permanent  workrooms  were 
opened,  one  of  them  maintained  by  the  Women's  Club,  another  by  Mrs. 
E.  F.  Schoeberlein,  and  several  others  for  shorter  periods,  all  in  charge 
of  trained  workers  and  under  perfect  sanitary  conditions.  Articles  not 
standard  or  otherwise  acceptable  to  the  Red  Cross  regulations  were  sent 
to  the  American  Fund  for  French  wounded,  and  distributed  at  home,  or 
disposed  of  where  the  best  use  could  be  made  of  them.

JUNIOR  RED  CROSS 

Five  thousand  two  hundred  and  sixty-five  children,  pupils  from  23  dif- 
ferent schools  of  the  city,  were  enrolled  in  the  Junior  Red  Cross,  and,  as 
the  result  of  the  great  work  of  the  teachers  in  those  schools,  they  became 
so  enthused  with  patriotism  and  the  desire  to  help  win  the  war  that  in  a 
great  measure  the  children  of  Aurora  were  greatly  responsible  for  the 
quick  and  successful  termination  of  all  patriotic  drives  in  this  community. 
They  were  always  on  the  job,  regardless  of  their  age  or  size.  The  work 
outlined  by  the  Central  Division  was  followed  as  far  as  practical  under 
local  conditions  and  permitted  by  the  school  authorities. 

OUTFITTING  SERVICE  MEN  AND  WOMEN 

From  October,  1917,  every  man  entering  service  was  entitled  to  all  or 
part  of  the  following  outfit :  Comfort  Kit,  Sweater,  wristers,  helmet  and 
two  pairs  of  socks,  and  1819  men  availed  themselves  of  the  opportunity 
to  secure  the  outfits  before  entraining  for  camp.  A\\i  of  the  1950  comfort 
kits  used  were  made  complete  by  the  First  Presbyterian  Unit. 

Women  entering  the  service  were  given  an  outfit  of  comfort  kit,  scarf 
and  two  pairs  of  bed  socks,  while  oversea  workers  were  given  six  addi- 
tional pairs  of  stockings,  which  were  made  and  partially  donated  by  the 
women  of  Trinity  Church.  The  Chapter  gave  each  young  woman  a 
steamer  rug  and  to  overseas  workers  the  sum  of  $50.00,  which  she  was 
required  to  have,  if  she  so  chose. 


[225] 


This  policy  coincided  with  the  sentiment  of  the  community  and  re- 
sulted in  a  more  hearty  and  enthusiastic  support  of  the  Chapter.

NURSING  ACTIVITIES 

The  Educational  Committee  was  later  merged  with  the  Nurses'  Activ- 
ities Committee,  which  conducted  six  classes  in  Home  Care  of  the  Sick, 
when  a  minimum  fee  was  charged,  under  the  direction  of  Miss  Esther 
Hubbard.  These  classes  were  organized  in  the  branches  as  well  as  in 
Aurora. 

A  free  clinic  was  inaugurated  by  the  Child  Welfare  Department  of  the 
Council  of  National  Defense  and  the  Anti-Tuberculosis  Society,  prior  to 
the  request  from  Headquarters  that  Chapters  conduct  a  Public  Health 
Nursing  Service.  This  clinic  met  with  such  success  that  the  committee 
on  Nursing  Activities  decided,  after  consultation  with  Miss  Ahrens,  to 
give  its  support  to  this  clinic  to  the  extent  of  providing  funds  for  employ- 
ing two  nurses  which  the  clinic  needed  to  carry  on  its  work  to  the  best 
advantage. 

WORK  IN  GENERAL 

In  October,  1917,  the  Red  Cross  Chapter,  through  the  courtesy  of  all 
the  Aurora  florists,  conveyed  five  large  boxes  of  cut  flowers  to  the  Base 
Hospital  at  Camp  Grant,  they  being  the  first  flowers  sent  into  the  big 
military  hospital  after  its  opening  for  the  care  of  sick  and  distressed 
soldiers. 

In  October,  1918,  when  the  troop  train  enroute  to  Chicago  was  wrecked 
six  miles  west  of  Aurora,  the  representatives  of  the  local  Chapter  were 
among  the  first  on  the  scene  and  attended  to  the  bringing  of  the  injured 
to  the  Aurora  Hospitals  for  treatment  and  provided  food  for  the  re- 
mainder of  the  soldier  passengers  upon  their  arrival  in  Aurora,  so  that 
their  journey  was  continued  without  delay  or  much  discomfort. 

On  June  2nd,  1919,  for  the  reception  of  the  famous  129th  Infantry 
in  Aurora,  while  enroute  from  the  battle  fields  of  France  to  Camp  Grant 


[226] 


for  demobilizatian,  the  women,  co-operating  with  the  Union  League  Club, 
packed  2470  lunch  boxes  for  which  250  home-made  cakes  were  solicited, 
and  served  them  to  the  boys  before  their  departure. 

One  June  29th,  1919,  500  soldier  boys  passing  through  the  city,  were 
served  with  coffee,  sandwiches,  cakes,  etc.  The  Chapter  on  one  hour's 
notice  at  this  time  prepared  75  gallons  of  coffee  and  1000  sandwiches. 

On  July  21st,  when  the  Government  Transcontinental  Convoy  passed 
through  the  city,  its  345  members  were  served  with  luncheon,  consisting 
of  sandwiches,  doughnuts,  home-made  cake,  apple  pie,  coffee  and  ice  cream. 

THE  CHAPTER  CONTRIBUTED  TO  THE 

Anti-Tuberculosis   Society    $1,500.00 

Mattoon   Relief  Committee 50.00 

Charleston  Relief  Committee '       50.00 

The  vast  amount  of  work,  which  has  been  accomplished  by  the  local 
Chapter  and  of  which  every  loyal  citizen  is  justly  proud,  was  accomplished 
by  volunteer  workers,  with  the  exception  of  one  stenographer  in  the  Cen- 
tral Shop,  the  trained  Secretary  and  one  stenographer  in  the  Home  Service 
Department,  the  nurses  employed  and  the  present  instructor  for  the  Home 
Care  of  the  sick  classes.

[240] 


Governor  Frank  O.  Lowden's  Welcome 

Home  Address  to  the  Soldiers 

and  Sailors  ^Illinois 

MEN  of  Illinois  I  welcome  you  home.  You  entered  the  service  of 
your  country  knowing  something  of  the  trials,  dangers  and  suffer- 
ings that  were  ahead  of  you.  Some  of  you  crossed  the  sea  to  meet 
those  dangers  in  the  trenches,  on  No  Man's  Land  and  on  the  battle  fields 
of  Europe.  You  saw  your  comrades  fall,  but  you  kept  on.  You  saw 
them  borne  away  on  stretchers  or  in  ambulances,  never  expecting  to  see 
them  again.  But  you  and  many  of  those  who  left  you  wounded  and  sick 
have  come  back.  With  the  men  who  spent  months  in  camps  in  the  United 
States  and  had  none  of  the  excitement  and  dangers  of  battle,  yet,  who 
nevertheless,  served  their  country  to  the  best  of  their  ability,  you  have 
come  home.  You  know  what  that  word  means  now,  if  you  did  not  know 
before.  Home  is  Illinois,  America,  the  best  country  in  the  world.  It 
has  always  been  worth  fighting  for.  Your  comrades  now  sleeping  on 
foreign  battlefields  have  proven  it  is  worth  dying  for  and  you  have  shown 
it  is  worthy  the  great  risks  you  have  taken. 

Now,  men  of  Illinois,  weary  of  war,  longing  for  home  and  the  quiet 
pursuits  of  peace,  you  have  a  new  task  before  you.  It  is  the  preservation 
of  the  liberties  for  which  you  risked  your  all.  It  is  the  resumption  of 
peaceful  relations.  Great  problems  lie  ahead  of  us  and  you  must  aid 
in  their  solution.  I  am  sure  you  will  prove  equal  to  that  task  as  thor- 
oughly as  you  met  the  demands  of  the  last  two  trying  years.

HOME  ACTIVITIES 


Local  Boarder  Aurora,  Illinois 

WITH  the  termination  of  the  great  conflict,  which  raged  in  Europe 
for  over  five  years,  and  in  which  our  country,  through  the  patriot- 
ism of  its  people,  played  so  vital  and  so  successful  a  part,  let  us  for 
a   few   moments   review   the  work   accomplished   in   our  own   City   by   its 
Local   Board,   the  local   representatives   of  ihe  War  Department  of  this 
country. 

With  the  entrance  of  the  United  States  into  the  War  on  April  6,  1917, 
the  War  Department  soon  realized  the  inadequacy  of  the  volunteer  sys- 
tem, and  the  Selective  Service  Law  was  promulgated  and  passed  by  Con- 
gress on  May  18,  1917,  through  which  law,  and  its  additional  amend- 
ments, 8,696  men,  or  practically  twenty-five  per  cent  of  the  population  of 
the  City  of  Aurora,  became  directly  affected. 

On  June  5,  1917,  in  compliance  with  the  National  Proclamation,  re- 
quiring all  male  persons  to  register  who  had  reached  their  twenty-first 
birthday,  and  who  had  not  reached  their  thirty-first  birthday,  the  regular 
city  election  boards,  under  the  supervision  of  the  Registration  Commit- 
tee, composed  of  Honorable  James  E.  Harley,  Mayor  of  the  City  of 
Aurora,  Honorable  S.  N.  Hoover,  County  Judge  of  Kane  County,  and 
Frank  Grommes,  City  Clerk  of  Aurora,  Illinois,  registered  3442  men  in 
the  City  of  Aurora. 

Following  June  5,  1917,  at  the  direction  of  the  Registration  Commit- 
tee, duplicates  of  the  registration  cards  of  each  registrant  were  made  by 
the  commercial  students  of  the  East  High  School  of  Aurora  and  the  St. 
Nicholas  Parochial  School. 

On  June  28,  1917,  as  one  of  the  4,557  local  boards  throughout  the 
United  States,  delegated  to  carry  out  the  Selective  Service  Law,  the  fol- 
lowing men  were  appointed  by  President  Woodrow  Wilson  to  form  the 
Local  Board  for  the  City  of  Aurora,  Illinois:  Captain  J.  H.  Freeman,  a 
Civil  War  Veteran,  Honorable  Edward  M.  Mangan,  Judge  of  the  City 
Court  of  Aurora,  Illinois,  and  Dr.  William  P.  Sherman.  The  Board 
immediately  organized  and  elected  the  following  officers:  Chairman,  Cap- 
tain, J.  H.  Freeman,  Clerk,  Edward  M.  Mangan,  and  Medical  Exam- 
iner, Dr.  W.  P.  Sherman.  To  assist  the  Board  in  its  clerical  work,  J.  W. 
Greenaway,  Clerk  of  the  City  Court  of  Aurora,  Illinois,  was  appointed  as 
Chief  Clerk,  and  Miss  Mamie  Michels,  as  Assistant  Clerk.  The  Local 
Board  for  the  City  of  Aurora  was  placed  within  the  jurisdiction  of  Dis- 
trict Board  No.  3,  for  the  Northern  Division  of  Illinois,  located  at  Chi- 
cago. 

On  June  30,  1917,  the  original  registration  cards  of  the  men  registered 
on  June  5,  1917,  and  duplicates  thereof,  were  turned  over  by  the  Regis- 
tration Committee  to  the  Local  Board,  and  the  cards  were  then  compared, 


[249] 


CAPT.  J.  H.  FREEMAN 
CHAIRMAN,  LOCAL  BOARD  FOR  THE  CITY  OF  AURORA,  ILLINOIS 


[250] 


certified  to,  and  given  serial  numbers.  On  July  20,  1917,  after  the  na- 
tional drawing  at  Washington,  the  order  numbers  were  determined  and 
placed  upon  the  cards,  and  lists  containing  the  name,  address,  serial  and 
order  numbers,  were  prepared  and  given  to  the  public. 

August  1,  1917,  pursuant  to  the  recommendation  of  the  Local  Board, 
Gov.  Frank  O.  Lowden,  appointed  the  following  physicians  to  assist  Dr. 
Sherman  in  the  physical  examination  of  registrants:  Dr.  C.  E.  Colwell, 
Dr.  George  A.  Darmer,  Dr.  W.  L.  Murphy,  Dr.  J.  W.  MacDonald  and 
Dr.  C.  W.  Geyer,  (Dr.  Darmer  and  Dr.  Geyer  later  resigning  and  serv- 
ing with  distinction  with  the  American  Expeditionary  Forces  in  France). 

Between  August  4th  and  9th,  1917,  the  first  1121  registrants  were 
ordered  to  appear  for  physical  examination,  1043  of  whom  responded. 
Of  the  1043  reporting,  893  passed  the  physical  examination  and  ISO 
were  found  physically  disqualified.  Of  the  893  who  passed  the  physical 
examination,  591  were  exempted  from  military  duty,  on  industrial,  de- 
pendency, agricultural  and  alienage  grounds,  leaving  302  available  for 
general  military  service.  The  causes  for  rejection  in  the  first  thirty  per 
cent  of  the  June  5th,  1917,  registrants  called  for  physical  examination 
were  as  follows: 

Defective  Vision  and  Eye  Troubles.  .55  Overweight 1 

Blind   1  Hernia    19 

One  Eye   2  Spinal  Troubles 5 

Nose  Deformed  by  accident 1  Heart   Troubles 3

The  first  call  upon  the  Local  Board  for  the  City  of  Aurora  was  for  ten 
men  qualified  for  general  military  service,  to  be  inducted  and  entrained  for 
Camp  Grant,  Illinois,  on  September  5,  1917.  To  fill  that  call,  the  fol- 
lowing registrants  volunteered  and  waived  their  rights  of  certification 
and  order  of  call :

MESSAGE  OF  PRESIDENT  WILSON  TO  MEN  CALLED  TO  THE 
NATION'S  COLORS 

THE  WHITE  HOUSE 
Washington,  D.  C,  Sept.  3,  1917 

To  the  Soldiers  of  the  National  Army: 

"VT'OU  are  undertaking  a  great  duty.  The  heart  of  the  whole  country 
•••  is  with  you.  Everything  that  you  do  will  be  watched  with  the  deepest 
interest  and  with  the  deepest  solicitude  not  only  by  those  who  are  near 
and  dear  to  you,  but  by  the  whole  nation  besides.  For  this  great  war 
draws  us  all  together,  makes  us  all  comrades  and  brothers,  as  all  true 
Americans  felt  themselves  to  be  when  we  first  made  good  our  national 
independence.  They  eyes  of  all  the  world  will  be  upon  you,  because  you 
are  in  some  special  sense  the  soldiers  of  freedom.  Let  it  be  your  pride, 
therefore,  to  show  all  men  everywhere  not  only  what  good  soldiers  you 
are,  but  also  what  good  men  you  are,  keeping  yourselves  straight  in 
everything  and  pure  and  clean  through  and  through.  Let  us  set  for  our- 
selves a  standard  so  high  that  it  will  be  a  glory  to  live  up  to  it  and  add  a 
new  laurel  to  the  crown  of  America.  My  affectionate  confidence  goes 
with  you  in  every  battle  and  every  test.  God  keep  you  and  guide  you! 

Woodroiv  Wilson. 


The  second  contingent  of  83  men  left  Aurora  for  Camp  Grant  Septem- 
ber 22,  1917,  and  the  third  contingent,  composed  of  41  men,  left  Aurora, 
October  6,  1917,  for  the  same  camp. 

Pending  the  call  for  further  contingents,  and  while  the  War  Depart- 
ment at  Washington  was  engaged  in  adopting  a  more  efficient  and  more 
complete  method  of  pursuing  the  Selective  Service  Law,  the  War  De- 
partment issued  an  order  permitting  all  registrants,  who  were  not  then 
within  the  current  quota  of  their  Board,  to  be  released  and  to  voluntarily 
enlist  up  to  December  10th,  1917,  in  any  branch  of  the  service  they  de- 
sired. A  great  many  of  the  registrants  of  the  Local  Board  for  Aurora 
took  advantage  of  that  order,  and  the  Board  was  kept  busy  granting  re- 
leases. 

ADOPTION  OF  QUESTIONNAIRE 

About  December  1,  1917,  the  Local  Board  received  the  amendments 
to  the  Selective  Service  Regulations,  adopting  the  questionnaire,  the  ap- 
pointment of  the  Legal  and  Medical  Advisory  Boards,  the  new  form  of 
physical  examinations,  occupational  reports,  and  several  other  new  meth- 
ods. The  purpose  of  the  questionnaire  was  to  classify  the  man  power  of 
this  country  in  its  industrial  and  military  importance,  in  order  that  the 
army  might  be  secured  as  speedily  as  possible  and  yet  the  industry  of  the 
nation  be  preserved,  and  it  was  in  fact  a  complete  history  of  every  regis- 
trant, which  might  be  referred  to  at  any  time.

To  assist  the  registrants  in  preserving  their  rights  in  filling  out  the 
questionnaires,  thereby  aiding  the  Board  in  its  work  of  classification,  the 
Legal  Advisory  Board,  consisting  of  Honoarble  S.  N.  Hoover,  E.  L.  Lyon 
and  Olney  C.  Allen,  was  appointed  by  the  Governor  of  Illinois.  Of 
equal  assistance  to  the  Board,  as  well  as  to  the  Government  and  the  regis- 
trants, in  looking  after  the  rights  of  each,  was  Ralph  C.  Putnam,  Govern- 
ment Appeal  Agent. 

Between  December  15,  1917,  and  January  9,  1918,  a  questionnaire 
was  mailed  to  every  registrant,  except  the  130  who  had  already  been  in- 
ducted and  accepted  at  Camp  Grant.  Through  the  courtesy  of  the  City 
Council  of  Aurora,  the  Council  Chamber  was  suitably  so  arranged  that 
the  Legal  Advisory  Board  might  conveniently  and  expeditiously  aid  the 
registrants  in  filling  out  their  questionnaires.  The  Legal  Advisory  Board 
was  greatly  enlarged  by  the  volunteer  workers,  comprising  the  legal  pro- 
fession of  the  city  and  many  able  laymen  and  women. 

The  thoroughness  of  the  Classification  System  can  perhaps  best  be 
described  by  figures,  and  the  following  report  shows  the  result  of  the  first 
registration. 

Class  One  (qualified  for  Military  Service,  including-  45  de- 
linquents and  deserters,  not  apprehended) 918 

Class  Two  367 

Class  Three   100 

Class  Four    1049 

Class  Five  (including  222  Class  One  men  found  physically 
deficient,  and  370  men  placed  in  this  class  because  of  vol- 
untary enlistment  since  June  5,  1917) 1034 

Cancellation  on  account  of  death  and  over-age 13 

Immediately  upon  the  classification,  a  physical  examination  of  all  Class 
One  registrants  was  made,  including  those  who  had  been  examined  under 
the  Original  Selective  Service  Regulations,  and  who  had  not  been  inducted 
into  the  service,  to  which  call  1095  men  responded. 

MEDICAL  ADVISORY  BOARD  No.  4 

Following  the  amendments  to  the  Selective  Service  Regulations,  Medi- 
cal Advisory  Boards  were  appointed  for  the  purpose  of  re-examining  reg- 
istrants who  were  either  referred  to  them  by  Local  Boards  or  registrants 
who  appealed  from  the  findings  of  the  Local  Board  examiners.  Medical 
Advisory  Board  No.  4  exercised  jurisdiction  over  the  territory  embraced 
in  DuPage,  Kane,  Kendall  and  DeKalb  Counties  and  their  examinations 
totaled  1234  registrants. 

The  Aurora  City  Hospital  was  designated  by  the  U.  S.  War  Depart- 
ment as  the  headquarters  of  the  Board  and  its  meetings  were  usually 
held  on  Wednesday  of  each  week  with  other  meetings  when  necessity 
required.  The  Board  was  organized  Jan.  3,  1918,  with  the  following 
members : 

Dr.  H.  A.  Brennecke Chairman 

Dr.  W.  L.  Murphy Secretary

In  accordance  with  the  change  in  the  standard  of  physical  examinations, 
a  registrant  might  be  found  qualified  for  general  military  service,  qualified 
for  special  or  limited  service,  qualified  for  remedial  service,  or  physically 
disqualified  for  military  service.

MISS  MAMIE  MICHELS 
ASSISTANT  CLERK,  LOCAL  BOARD  FOR  THE  CITY  OF  AURORA,  ILLINOIS 


[258] 


Calls  for  selected  men  were  made  upon  the  Local  Board  up  until  June, 
1918,  when  the  number  of  available  men  was  becoming  so  exhausted 
throughout  the  country  that  a  second  registration  was  deemed  necessary 
by  the  War  Department  order. 

SECOND  REGISTRATION 

On  June  5,  1918,  all  male  persons  who  had  reached  their  twenty-first 
year  since  June  5,  1917,  were  required  to  register,  and  on  August  24,  1918, 
all  male  persons  who  had  reached  their  twenty-first  birthday  since  June  5, 
1918,  were  required  to  register.  The  total  registration  on  those  two  dates 
in  the  City  of  Aurora  was  301.  They  were  immediately  classified,  and  the 
results  of  that  classification  are  as  follows : 

Class  One  (including  1  deserter,  who  was  afterwards  apprehended)  142 

Class  Two  23 

Class  Three   12 

Class  Four  14 

Class  Five  (including  35  original  Class  One  men  who  were  found 
physically  deficient  and  58  who  were  placed  in  this  class  because 
of  voluntary  enlistment  since  June  5,  1918) 110 

"WORK  OR  FIGHT" 

During  the  summer  of  1918,  the  "Work  or  Fight"  order  was  promul- 
gated by  the  War  Department.  In  pursuance  of  that  order,  the  Legal 
Advisory  Board  prepared  a  form  of  questionnaire,  which  they  sent  to  750 
employers  of  labor  in  the  city.  Upon  an  examination  of  those  question- 
naires, fifteen  registrants  were  found  by  the  Board  to  be  engaged  in  non- 
essential  occupation,  but  who,  on  the  request  of  the  Board,  found  employ- 
ment which  was  essential  to  the  successful  carrying  on  of  the  War.  The 
small  number  of  registrants  found  to  be  engaged  in  non-essential  work  was 
due  to  the  fact  that  when  the  "Work  or  Fight"  order  was  originated  many 
sought  essential  employment  of  their  own  accord. 

LAST  REGISTRATION 

Anticipating  the  great  need  of  men  for  the  successful  termination  of  the 
War  of  1919,  and  realizing  that  the  available  Class  One  men  were  rapidly 
becoming  exhausted,  the  War  Department  issued  a  proclamation,  requir- 
ing all  male  persons,  who  had  reached  the  age  of  eighteen  years  and  who 
had  not  reached  the  age  of  46  years,  to  register  on  September  12,  1918. 
In  pursuance  of  that  proclamation,  there  were  registered  in  the  City  of 
Aurora  4915  men. 

The  usual  procedure  as  to  duplication  of  cards,  lists,  serial  and  order 
numbers,  was  carried  out,  and  questionnaires  were  mailed  to  the  registrants 
according  to  the  following  division  of  ages: 

2202  to  registrants  between  the  ages  of  19  and  36,  (Inc.) 
249  to  registrants  18  years  of  age. 

2464  to  registrants  between  the  ages  of  37  and  45   (Inc.)

the  privilege  of  enlisting  in  the  Students'  Army  Training  Corps,  being  con- 
ducted by  the  different  colleges  and  universities  throughout  the  country. 
By  taking  advantage  of  this  course,  a  boy  might  pursue  his  college  train- 
ing, and  in  addition  he  would  receive  free  tuition,  board  and  uniform, 
also  the  regular  soldier's  salary.  This  Board  had  83  of  its  registrants 
enrolled  in  the  Students'  Army  Training  Corps.

EXAMINING  PHYSICIANS 

During  the  period  of  physical  examinations,  held  under  the  direction  of 
the  Local  Board,  the  ten  physicians,  who  so  generously  volunteered  their 
time  and  experience  to  expedite  the  work  in  all  kinds  of  weather  and  con- 
ditions, examined  approximately  2700  registrants,  which  included  several 
hundred  registrants  enrolled  with  other  boards  throughout  the  country. 
During  the  first  eight  days  of  August,  1917,  the  examiners  examined  1090 
men,  while  in  the  months  of  January  and  February,  1918,  over  1200  were 
examined  for  qualification  in  Uncle  Sam's  army.  In  October,  1918,  the 
first  class  men  in  the  19  to  37  age  of  the  September  registration,  number- 
ing 235  men,  were  examined  in  one  day. 

LEGAL  ADVISORY  BOARD 

The  Legal  Advisory  Board,  with  its  corps  of  assistants,  was  perhaps 
the  best  organization  of  its  kind  in  the  country.  With  a  full  crew  of  as- 
sistants, continuously  at  work  in  the  City  Hall  during  the  weeks  devoted 
to  filling  out  the  questionnaires,  over  12,000  registrants  from  this  city 
and  other  boards  were  aided  to  such  an  extent  that  in  only  a  very  few 
cases  were  corrections  necessary  to  the  papers  when  filed  with  the  Local 
Boards,  which  in  itself  speaks  volumes  when  one  considers  how  exacting 
most  Boards  were  in  considering  all  questionnaires  under  their  control. 

BOARD  OF  INSTRUCTION 

This  Board  of  13  members  was  organized  under  the  direction  of  the 
War  Department  for  the  purpose  of  instructing  all  registrants  awaiting 
call  to  the  service  as  to  hygiene  and  temperance,  patriotism  and  war  issues, 
camp  life,  English  language  and  military  drill  and  conduct,  so  that  upon 
their  entering  camp,  the  men  were  practically  well  versed  in  most  of  the 
things  which  the  former  recruits  were  ignorant  of  when  they  landed  at 
the  cantonments. 

During  the  few  weeks  of  its  existence,  prior  to  the  signing  of  the  .arm- 
istice, this  Board  had  enrolled  413  men  of  whom  341  were  generally  in 
attendance  at  the  drills  and  lectures;  eighty  drills  were  given,  during 
which  time  talks  were  given  on  military  conduct;  eighteen  lectures  were 
given  to  these  men  for  their  physical  and  moral  assistance.  Eighty  men 
never  missed  a  drill,  while  nine  men  also  took  extra  drill  work  not  re- 
quired. The  Board  was  greatly  assisted  by  Major  Harkison  and  the 
members  of  Company  K  of  the  Reserve  militia  in  the  military  work 
given. 

VOLUNTEER  WORKERS 

Many  times  during  the  war  the  Local  Board  expressed  deep  gratitude 
to  the  public  school  teachers,  the  students  of  the  commercial  classes  of  the 
two  high  schools  and  a  large  number  of  loyal  men  and  women,  who  under 
the  guidance  of  the  efficient  office  force  of  the  Board,  accomplished  the 
great  task  of  preparing  for  the  mails  the  thousands  of  pieces  of  matter 
sent  to  the  registrants,  duplicated  thousands  of  registration  and  medical

examination  cards,  served  as  aids  to  the  medical  examiners,  prepared  filing 
covers  and  compiled  occupational  cards  for  the  government,  besides  many 
other  important  lines  of  work  during  the  period  the  country  was  at  war  and 
always  with  a  true  and  loyal  spirit. 

Under  the  Selective  Service  Law,  a  great  responsibility  not  only  rested 
upon  the  Local  Board,  but  endless  work,  much  of  which  was  not  realized 
by  the  general  public,  had  to  be  performed  to  carry  out  the  same,  and  it 
was  only  through  the  valuable  assistance  of  the  volunteer  workers  that 
the  same  was  accomplished  and  brought  commendation  from  the  Provost 
Marshal's  office  at  Washington.

AURORA'S  largest  draft  contingent   (297  men)   escorted  by  Aurora 
Post  No.  20,  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic,  Daughters  of  Veterans 
and  Godard's  Band  leaving  for  Camp  Grant,  June  24,  1918.     This 
contingent  was  the  last  of  the  available  men  of  the  1917  registration  and 
its  departure  was  witnessed  by  40,000  people. 

The  Local  Board  was  highly  complimented  by  Camp  Grant  officers  on 
the  excellent  system  used  in  loading  the  contingent  so  that  the  train  de- 
parted for  camp  two  minutes  ahead  of  time  without  confusion. 

Most  of  the  contingent  went  over  seas  with  the  86th  Division,  better 
known  as  the  "Blackhawks."

During  the  existence  of  the  Local  Board,  the  office  was  open  for  busi- 
ness practically  every  day,  including  Sundays  and  holidays,  from  7:30 
o'clock  in  the  morning  until  10  o'clock  at  night,  while  on  several  occa- 
sions the  Board  was  in  session  the  full  24  hours  of  the  day.  Over  150,- 
000  pieces  of  mail  matter  came  in  and  went  out  of  the  Local  Board  office, 
and  its  records,  on  shipment  to  Washington,  consisted  of  some  300,000 
sheets  of  paper  and  weighed  over  4000  pounds.  While  a  vast  amount 
of  stationery  was  furnished  by  the  War  Department,  a  large  bulk  of  mate- 
rial used  by  the  board  was  furnished  through  the  courtesy  of  Mayor 
James  E.  Harley  and  the  City  Council  of  Aurora.  The  Local  Board, 
through  its  efficient  office  organization,  was  the  first  board  in  Illinois  to 
complete  and  ship  the  duplicate  cards  of  the  1917  registration;  had  300 
men  ready  for  shipment  when  the  first  call  for  drafted  men  came;  was 
never  late  with  any  shipment  of  men;  was  highly  complimented  by  the 
Government  officials  and  District  Board  No.  3  for  its  work;  had  on  the 
signing  of  the  armistice  99  per  cent  of  its  entire  registration  classified  and 
was  the  first  Board  in  the  State  of  Illinois  to  complete  its  work  and  ship 
its  records  to  Washington,  D.  C.,  as  shown  by  the  following  extract  from 
the  Circular  No.  311-L,  of  the  Adjutant  General's  Office,  under  date  of 
March  24,  1919,  as  follows,  "Aurora's  telegram,  'shipped'  was  filed  at 
7:06  this  A.  M.  and  is  the  first  Board  in  the  State  to  complete  4th  step." 
The  Local  Board  ceased  its  labors  April  1st,  1919.

HOTEL  AURORA,   1917 


Officers  Training  School 


EARLY  in  the  Spring  of  1918,  Aurora  was  visited  by  over  one  hun- 
dred officers  of  the  United  States  Army  who  had  been  detailed  by 
the  Adjutant  General's  department  to  take  up  the  study  of  decipher- 
ing codes  of  all  kinds,  especially  the  numberless  codes  which  had  been 
obtained  from  foreign  countries  and  of  ancient  origin.  This  school  was 
conducted  for  seven  weeks  in  the  grill  room  of  Hotel  Aurora  with  great 
success  after  which  the  officers  returned  to  their  different  commands  and 
embarked  for  the  scenes  of  conflict  in  France.  During  their  stay  in  this 
city  the  officers  made  many  friends  and  it  is  most  regretable  to  note  that 
many  of  that  school  paid  the  supreme  sacrifice  on  the  battle  fields  during 
the  few  months  of  fighting  after  their  arrival  on  the  foreign  shores.

Aurora  Woman's  Committee  of  the  State 
Council  ^National  Defense 

THE  Council  of  National  Defense  was  created  at  Washington,  D. 
C.,  August  29,  1916,  and  was  composed  of  the  Secretaries  of  War, 
Navy,     Interior,    Agriculture,    Commerce    and    Labor.      Deeming 
Woman's  work  essential  to  the  winning  of  the  war,  the  Woman's  Com- 
mittee of  the  Council  of  National  Defense  was  organized  in  April,  1917. 
Headquarters  were   established   at   Washington,    D.    C.,    and    Dr.    Anna 
Howard   was   appointed    President,   with    Ida   Tarbell    as   her   assistant. 
Illinois  organized  under  the  leadership  of  Mrs.  Joseph  T.   Bowen,  with 
headquarters   in   Chicago,   while  two   thousand   units,   each  with   its   own 
chairman,  were  formed  throughout  the  state. 

Mrs.  Thomas  B.  Stewart  of  Aurora  was  selected  as  Chairman  of  Kane 
County,  the  county  divided  into  districts,  and  Mrs.  John  T.  Mason  se- 
lected as  temporary  chairman  for  the  Aurora  Township. 

AURORA  ORGANIZATION 

At  a  meeting,  called  by  Mrs.  Mason,  of  all  the  women  of  Aurora,  and 
held  in  the  City  Hall  on  October  13th,  1917,  the  permanent  organization 
of  the  Aurora  Woman's  Committee  of  the  State  Council  of  National 
Defense  was  perfected  and  the  following  officers  elected: 

Chairman Mrs.  T.  J.  Parker 

First  Vice  Chairman Mrs.  Ira  C.  Copley 

Second  Vice  Chairman Mrs.  George  Martin 

Secretary Mrs.  Richard  Curry 

Treasurer Miss  Edith  R.  Levedahl 

The  object  of  the  organization,  as  stated  in  the  state  constitution,  was 
"to  avoid  all  duplication  of  effort,  to  utilize  existing  organizations,  to 
promote  efficiency  and  give  every  woman  an  opportunity  for  patriotic 
service  at  home  and  abroad." 

Membership  was  open  to  every  woman  in  the  township  and  the  pres- 
idents and  leaders  of  the  one  hundred  and  eighty  nine  (189)  woman's 
organizations  of  Aurora  were  especially  urged  to  attend  the  regular 
monthly  meetings. 

The  Executive  Committee  was  composed  of  the  County  Chairman,  local 
officers  and  heads  of  departments,  the  following  composing  the  permanent 
committee:

The  work  of  the  Woman's  Council  of  Defense  was  only  another  evi- 
dence of  the  patriotism  of  the  Aurora  women.  Almost  every  one  was 
already  engaged  in  the  Red  Cross,  Navy  Aid  or  Allied  Relief  work,  and 
while  the  work  of  these  agencies,  as  well  as  that  of  the  Liberty  Loan 
Committee,  was  reported  at  our  meetings  and  assisted  by  the  Council  in 
various  ways,  nevertheless,  they  were  entirely  independent  organizations, 
and  a  complete  history  of  their  activities  is  reported  elsewhere. 

REGISTRATION 

The  registration  of  women  was  the  first  work  undertaken  by  the  Coun- 
cil of  Defense,  the  members  of  the  Woman's  Club  doing  most  of  the 
work,  under  the  leadership  of  the  Registration  Chairman,  Mrs.  J.  H. 
Bliss.  The  township  was  divided  into  precincts  with  precinct  workers. 
Ten  thousand  one  hundred  and  seventy-eight  (10,178)  women  registered, 
and  eight  hundred  and  fifty-nine  dollars  ($859.00)  was  raised  from  the 
registration  fee.  One-half  of  this  sum  was  forwarded  to  State  Headquar- 
ters and  one-half  deposited  to  our  local  account. 

The  precinct  organization,  formed  by  the  registration  department, 
proved  of  much  value  in  subsequent  drives,  such  as  the  second  Red  Cross 
drive,  the  Good  Roads  and  Sanitarium  campaign  and  the  Survey  of  the 
Blind  in  Aurora  Township.  The  registration  cards  were  placed  in  a  filing 
case,  bought  for  the  purpose,  and  proved  to  be  of  valuable  service  during 
the  war  in  enlisting  workers  in  many  capacities. 

CONSERVATION 

A  "Speaker's  Bureau"  was  formed,  and  talks  urging  conservation  of 
food  and  the  use  of  substitutes  were  given  before  seventy-two  (72)  organ- 
izations. 

In  April,  1917,  a  "Pure  Food  Show"  was  held  in  the  Armory.  Speak- 
ers on  conservation,  the  use  of  substitutes,  and  other  patriotic  subjects 
addressed  the  crowds.  One  hundred  dollars  ($100.00)  was  raised  by  the 
Council  of  Defense  home-cooking  booth.  During  the  season  three  thous- 
and five  hundred  (3,500)  war  cook-books  were  sold. 

In  August,  the  Council  of  Defense  headquarters  were  opened  in  Fox 
Street  in  the  store,  generously  offered  by  Joseph  Sherer,  furnishing  head- 
quarters for  the  Food  Administrator,  and  also,  John  T.  Mason.  Here,

under  the  supervision  of  Mrs.  E.  R.  Conklin,  chairman,  the  use  of  sugar 
and  fat  substitutes  was  demonstrated  to  over  nine  thousand  (9000) 
women.  Talks  were  also  given  by  members  of  the  Civic  Department  of 
the  Aurora  Woman's  Club  and  by  Miss  Ethel  Dole,  County  Advisor  of 
the  Home  Improvement  Association,  an  organization  largely  made  pos- 
sible by  the  efforts  of  the  Council  of  Defense. 

•• 

WOMEN  AND  CHILDREN  IN  INDUSTRY 

The  Department  of  Women  and  Children  in  Industry  accomplished 
much  in  the  "Back  to  School"  drive.  With  the  assistance  of  Miss  Mary 
Stone,  state  organizer,  Mrs.  J.  T.  Mason,  chairman,  was  able  to  unite  the 
efforts  of  the  schools,  Parent-Teacher  Associations  and  the  Juvenile  Pro- 
tective Association,  to  induce  boys  and  girls  under  sixteen  years  of  age  to 
go  back  into  the  schools.  A  permanent  organization  was  effected,  con- 
sisting of  the  Superintendents  of  schools,  representatives  of  Parochial 
schools,  presidents  of  the  Parent-Teacher  Associations  and  the  Juvenile 
Protective  Association  officer,  to  discuss,  investigate  and  settle  difficulties, 
to  transfer  pupils  from  one  school  to  another  and  to  see  that  pupils  on 
leaving  jobs  returned  to  school.  It  was  insisted  that  work  certificates  be 
issued  by  a  school  superintendent  and  O.  K.'d  by  the  Juvenile  Protective 
Association  officer,  thus  enforcing  the  State  law.  The  co-operation  of 
manufacturers  and  employers  was  also  secured.  Four  hundred  and  eight 
(408)  children  returned  to  school. 

PATRIOTIC  LEAGUE 

The  Patriotic  League,  under  the  chairmanship  of  Miss  Mildred  Pink- 
erton,  formed  nineteen  units,  with  nine  hundred  and  fourteen  (914) 
members.  Most  of  the  work  was  carried  on  under  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.  The 
activities  of  the  girls,  mostly  of  the  High  School  age,  consisted  of  knit- 
ting, gauze  work,  socials,  educational  programs,  hiking,  gymnastics,  and 
military  drill. 

PUBLICITY  DEPARTMENT 

Through  the  Misses  Mae  Barclay  and  Ella  Greenman  of  the  Publicity 
Department,  the  Aurora  Beacon-News  gave  columns  of  space  to  advertise 
and  circulate  facts  and  information  regarding  our  accomplishments,  plans 
and  purposes. 

FOOD  PRODUCTION  DEPARTMENT 

The  Food  Production  Department,  with  Mrs.  Frank  Watson  as  chair- 
man, united  with  the  Woman's  Club  and  House  and  Garden  Club  in  se- 
curing 80  vacant  lots  for  home  gardens,  furnishing  nineteen  dollars  and 
thirty  three  cents  ($19.33)  worth  of  seeds  and  potatoes,  securing  the  free 
distribution  of  twenty  bushels  of  potatoes  by  farmers,  disbursing  five 
thousand  packages  of  free  seeds,  sent  out  by  the  government,  and  thir- 
teen dollars  for  ploughing  the  lots.  Mrs.  Watson  personally  furnished 
one  thousand  (1,000)  packages  of  flower  seeds  and  offered  a  two  and  a 
half  dollar  gold  piece  for  the  best  war  garden.

FATHERLESS   CHILDREN  OF   FRANCE 

After  an  inspiring  talk  by  Mrs.  Robert  Brewster  of  Chicago  regarding 
the  Fatherless  Children  of  France,  Mrs.  Ida  Sawyer  Allen  undertook,  with 
the  Parent-Teachers  Association,  the  task  of  placing  Aurora's  quota  of 
one  hundred  (100)  adopted  children.  Kind  hearts  responded  and  final 
results  showed  over  one  hundred  "Fatherless  Children  of  France" 
adopted,  either  by  individuals  or  societies  of  Aurora. 

COURSES  OF  STUDY 

The  chairman  of  the  department  of  Courses  in  Study,  Mrs.  R.  L. 
Curry,  assisted  in  forming  classes  in  First  Aid,  Home  Nursing,  Dietetics, 
Typewriting,  Public  Speaking  and  Motor  Service,  and  helped  to  organize 
night  school  for  boys  and  girls.  Both  this  and  the  Americanization  de- 
partments encouraged  community  singing  at  the  City  playgrounds,  schools 
and  public  meetings. 

AMERICANIZATION 

The  Amerizanization  department,  with  Mrs.  J.  C.  Y.  Moore  as  chair- 
man, was  a  potent  factor  in  bringing  about  a  big  community  organization, 
the  U.  S.  Government,  the  schools,  and  the1  city  co-operating.  Two  public 
Naturalization  Ceremonies  were  held  for  the  newly  created  citizens  in 
the  East  High  Auditorium.  Night  schools  for  the  foreign  born  were 
formed  at  the  Roumanian  church,  Oak  Park  and  Indian  Creek  schools, 
Prof.  C.  M.  Bardwell  greatly  assisting  in  this  work. 

COUNCIL  MEETINGS 

The  Aurora  Woman's  Council  held  fourteen  public  meetings  and 
twenty-seven  executive  meetings,  bringing  well-known  speakers  to  address 
the  people  on  vital  questions  of  woman's  work  in  the  war.  Among  them 
were  Mrs.  A.  Starr  Best,  Mrs.  Margaret  Bangs,  Miss  Helena  McMillan, 
Mrs.  Edward  Bemis,  Mrs.  Walter  Brewster,  Mrs.  Helen  Ruggles,  Dr. 
Rachel  Yarros,  Mrs.  Virginia  LeRoy,  Miss  Harriet  Vittum,  Dr.  Allen 
Albert,  Mrs.  Ira  Couch  Wood  and  Miss  Mary  Wood.  It  furnished 
money  for  many  laudable  undertakings,  First  Aid  classes,  seeds  for  war 
gardens,  $50.00  toward  furnishing  a  ward  in  the  American  Hospital  in 
Rheims,  France,  $25.00  for  the  Federal  Employment  Bureau,  flags  for 
the  new  citizens,  in  addition  to  $200.00  each  for  the  Day  Nursery  and 
Free  Clinic. 

SOCIAL  SERVICE 

The  plans  of  the  Social  Service  Department,  under  the  chairmanship  of 
Mrs.  Charles  Wade,  for  the  establishment  of  a  Day  Nursery,  have  mis- 
carried several  times,  but  money  in  the  treasury  is  still  at  the  disposal  of 
the  committee  for  that  purpose,  and  we  expect  to  see  plans  materialize 
this  fall. 

CHILD  WELFARE 

The  Child  Welfare  Department,  under  the  joint  chairmanship  of

of  the  government  to  help  save  one  hundred  thousand  (100,000)  habies 
and  arranged  to  have  a  "weighing  and  measuring"  campaign  of  all  chil- 
dren under  six  years  of  age.  With  the  hearty  co-operation  of  superin- 
tendents of  schools,  teachers  and  members  of  the  Parent-Teachers'  Or- 
ganizations, doctors  and  nurses,  two  thousand  eight  hundred  and  thirty- 
five  (2,835)  children  were  weighed,  measured  and  physically  examined. 
Birth  registration  was  also  inquired  into,  resulting  in  an  exceedingly  com- 
plete registration  the  following  year,  1919,  during  the  "Health  Week." 
The  physical  examination  brought  out  the  fact  that  102  little  children 
were  greatly  in  need  of  medical  attention,  and  perhaps  the  most  satis- 
factory result  of  the  Woman's  Council  of  Defense  work,  next  to  helping 
win  the  war,  was  the  establishment  of  a  "Free  Clinic,"  to  take  care  of 
such  cases  and,  ultimately,  older  people  who  needed  similar  service. 

FREE  CLINIC 

The  Council  of  Defense  rented  the  Rollins  &  Rice  flat  in  Main  Street, 
engaged  Mrs.  George  Brown  as  secretary,  furnished  the  rooms,  and 
launched  this  great  center  of  good  in  Aurora.  The  united  efforts  of  the 
Red  Cross  and  Tuberculosis  Association  came  to  our  assistance  and  we 
are  truely  proud  of  its  wonderful  growth  and  accomplishments.  Two 
expert  State  Specialists,  Dr.  Wilson  R.  Abbott  on  Tuberculosis,  and  Dr. 
Clarence  East  on  Infantile  Paralysis  and  crippled  condition  resulting  from 
other  causes,  held  clinics  once  a  month.  The  clinic  was  formally  opened 
January  11,  1919.  General  clinics  are  held  twice  a  week,  supervised  by 
our  local  physicians  and  assisted  by  the  tuberculosis  nurse  and  our  two 
home  nurses,  employed  for  this  purpose.  One  hundred  and  seventy  (170) 
tubercular  and  crippled  patients  have  been  cared  for  by  Drs.  Abbott  and 
and  East,  and  one  hundred  sixty-seven  (167)  cases  have  been  cared  for 
by  our  local  physicians.  Mr.  George  Wegner,  of  the  Wolfertz  De- 
formity Appliance  and  Truss  Company  of  Chicago,  has  personally  repre- 
sented the  company  and  supplied  the  casts  and  braces  Dr.  East  has  recom- 
mended. Braces  have  been  secured  for  sixteen.  These  are  paid  for  by 
the  parties  themselves,  or,  if  financially  unable,  the  money  is  secured  by 
private  subscription. 

The  great  world  war  is  ended  and  peace  declared.  Our  country  enter- 
ing at  the  crucial  moment  played  a  potent  part  in  winning  the  victory. 
Democracy  is  safe  for  the  present,  but  we  all  realize  that  our  nation  must 
be  on  the  alert,  for  "eternal  vigilance"  is  the  price  of  permanent  peace. 
The  reconstruction  and  readjustment  of  society  must  follow  war,  and  the 
Council  of  Defense,  realizing  it,  in  the  midst  of  the  tumult  and  confusion 
of  war,  began  constructive  measures  for  the  conservation  of  humanity. 
We  are  confident  that  the  forces  then  set  in  motion  will  result  in  perma- 
nent good  for  society. 


[290] 


Aurora  Patriots'  Fund 

WITH  the  closing  of  the  first  year  of  the  war,  the  citizens  of  Au- 
rora, believing  that  by  one  centralized  organization  more  money 
could  be  secured,  more  people  enabled  to  assist  in  the  war  work 
and  the  contributions  of  the  citizens  would  not  be  duplicated,  advocated 
the  organization  of  a  central  body  for  that  purpose. 

On  March  6th,  1918,  Mayor  James  E.  Harley  called  a  meeting  in  the 
City  Hall,  at  which  representatives  from  every  organization,  business, 
fraternal  and  religious  of  the  city,  were  present,  at  which  time  a  tempor- 
ary organization  was  launched. 

On  June  26,  1918,  the  Aurora  Patriot's.  Fund  was  duly  organized 
under  license  No.  415,  issued  by  the  Illinois  State  Council  of  Defense, 
and  immediately  a  vigorous  campaign  for  the  purpose  of  securing  month- 
ly pledges  for  the  war  fund,  otherwise  known  as  the  War  Chest,  was  be- 
gun. 

In  organizing,  the  society  adopted  the  following  purposes  of  the  fund: 

First — To  enable  everybody  to  give  in  the  aid  of  war  work. 

Second — To  enable  all  to  feel  that  they  were  doing  "their  bit." 

Third — To  prevent  and  do  away  with  duplication  and  reduplication  of 
effort  in  the  collection  of  this,  that  and  the  other  fund  for  war  work,  pro- 
viding for  the  handling  of  all  the  work  under  one  centralized  organiza- 
tion, which  would  be  able  to  collect  more  money,  do  more  good,  work  far 
more  efficiently,  and  give  every  man  and  woman  equal  opportunity  to 
share  in  patriotic  giving. 

Fourth — To  insure  against  demands  which  might  be  unfair  in  amount 
or  purpose. 

Fifth — To  leave  an  open  field  for  Bond  Issues  and  Thrift  Stamp  cam- 
paigns. 

In  the  campaign  for  members,  an  enrollment  of  16,000  persons  was 
secured,  and  the  first  monthly  payment  commenced  on  July  15,  1918,  and 
terminated  on  November  6,  1919,  with  a  total  collection  of  $226,221.00. 

The  officers  and  committees  in  charge  of  this  work  were : 

Chairman — Hon.  James  E.  Harley.  Dr.  D.  D.  Culver

Union  Labor  Patriot  Fund 

EARLY  in  the  second  year  of  the  war,  the  Labor  Unions  of  the  city 
took  up  the  question  of  a  central  body,  handling  all  war  relief  fund 
subscriptions,  for  the  purpose  of  eliminating  duplicate  and  unneeded 
subscriptions.     Having  organized  their  central  body  about  the  same  time 
the  Patriots  Fund  was  started,  they  decided  to  continue  with  their  original 
organization  which  consisted  of  many  members  of  the 

Electrical  Workers  Butchers  Union 

Laborers  Union  Lathers  Union 

Plumbers  Union  Sheet  Metal  Workers 

Carpenters  Union  Painters  Union 

B.  of  L.  E.  Machinists  Union 

Metal  Polishers  Union  St.  R.  R.  Employes 

During  its  existence,  the  organization  collected  a  fund  of  $1196.95  in 
the  weekly  payment  plan  and  this  was  paid  out  for  worthy  purposes  as 
follows :

Alien  Registration 


IN  FEBRUARY,  1918,  at  the  suggestion  of  the  State  Council  of  De- 
fense, American  Protective  League  and  Local  Board  for  the  City  of 
Aurora,  Mayor  James  E.  Harley  ordered  a  complete  registration  of 
all  aliens  residing  in  and  about  the  City  of  Aurora,  regardless  of  what 
country  they  came  from. 

This  registration  was  conducted  through  the  factories  and  work  shops 
of  the  city  and  resulted  in  listing  for  reference  purposes  1600  families  in 
the  city  and  township  adjacent  to  the  city.  This  information  was  filed 
for  future  use,  if  so  desired,  by  the  government  officials. 

ALIEN  ENEMY  REGISTRATION  (GERMAN) 

Following  close  on  the  private  registration  completed  by  the  city  offi- 
cials, came  orders  from  the  Department  of  Justice  at  Washington,  D.  C., 
instructing  all  men  aliens  of  German  birth,  including  all  who  had  made 
their  declaration  of  intention  to  become  citizens  of  the  United  States,  to 
appear  before  the  police  officials  of  Aurora  for  the  purpose  of  registra- 
tion. 

This  registration,  held  between  March  1st,  1918,  and  March  llth, 
was  conducted  by  Chief  of  Detectives  A.  G.  Wirz,  and  resulted  in  the 
registration  of  99  males,  which  later  was  increased  by  eleven  who  had 
moved  to  the  city  from  other  sections  of  the  country  before  registering. 
So  successful  was  the  registration  of  the  male  German  alien  popula- 
tion that  the  Department  of  Justice  ordered  all  females  of  German  birth 
or  citizenship  to  register,  designating  the  period  of  registration  from 
August  4th,  to  August  15th,  1918,  which  resulted  in  the  registration  of 
117  persons. 

Both  registrations  were  similar  in  character,  the  records  being  in  trip- 
licate form  and  included  data  as  to  place  and  date  of  birth,  names  of  all 
relatives,  names  of  all  relatives  engaged  in  the  war,  either  on  the  allied 
or  German  side,  their  desire  for  naturalization,  cause,  if  any,  of  their  ar- 
rest, a  complete  measurement  under  the  famous  Bertillion  System  and 
three  photographs  and  finger  prints  of  all  fingers  on  both  hands. 

One  copy  was  forwarded  to  the  Department  of  Justice  at  Washing- 
ton, D,  C.,  one  copy  to  the  United  States  Marshal  in  Chicago  and  the 
third  was  retained  for  record  purposes  in  the  local  police  headquarters. 

Ten  days  after  the  period  of  registration,  photographic  permits  were 
forwarded  to  each  registrant  by  the  government,  with  instructions  that  in 
case  of  removal  from  this  jurisdiction  the  holder  should  report  to  the 
headquarters  for  transfer  and  removal  permit. 


[299] 


While  this  procedure  was  believed  to  be  unnecessary  among  our  popu- 
lation, it  was  a  national  order,  of  great  importance  in  many  sections  of 
the  country  and  was  cheerfully  carried  out  in  this  vicinity. 

Assisting  the  police  officials  in  the  work  or  registration  were  Mrs. 
Frank  Hale,  Mrs.  Charles  Wright,  Mrs.  Roy  Strohn,  Mrs.  M.  E.  Geipel, 
Mrs.  J.  E.  Salfisberg,  Mrs.  Burton  Denney,  Mrs.  J.  W.  Hunt,  Mrs.  Max 
Wolf,  Mrs.  J.  W.  Kennedy,  Mrs.  W.  P.  Sherman  and  Messrs.  Everett 
Beckwith,  Joseph  Shearer,  Judd  Chapman,  Burton  Denney  and  Coulter 
Rule.

Y.  M.  C.  A 

UPON  the  declaration  of  war  in  April,   1917,  the  big  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
building  was  immediately  thrown  open  for  the  care  and  comfort 
of  the  soldiers  and  sailors,  either  at  home  on  leave  or  those  pre- 
paring to  enter  the  war  service.     Hundreds  were  given  quarters  and  the 
privileges  of  the  building,  including  the  baths  and  gym.,  practically  free 
of  charge. 

Of  the  one  thousand  one  hundred  fifty  (1150)  members  of  the  local 
association  membership,  practically  450  served  their  country,  either  in 
the  army,  navy,  marines  or  in  the  association  work  in  foreign  countries, 
or  in  the  national  cantonments. 

Early  in  the  war  at  one  of  the  dinners  given  in  the  Association  rooms, 
the  "home-boys"  contributed  $2000.00  to  pay  the  membership  dues  of 
those  who  had  gone  into  the  service,  and  on  the  call  for  funds  to  carry  on 
the  work  in  the  numerous  camps  of  this  country  and  overseas,  the  citizens 
of  Aurora  subscribed  $78,000.00  as  its  quota. 

During  the  summer  of  1917,  and  most  of  1918,  great  work  was  ac- 
complished by  the  physical  directors'  force  in  the  gym.,  where  hundreds 
of  men,  awaiting  the  call  to  the  colors,  were  given  training,  which  came 
in  good  stead  upon  their  entering  the  ranks  as  soldiers  and  sailors. 

So  great  was  the  patriotic  spirit  of  Aurora  people  in  the  association 
war  work  and  in  the  local  association  that  at  the  signing  of  the  armistice 
the  membership  totaled  1886  men. 

Twenty-six  men  answered  the  call  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  as  secretaries 
and  workers  in  the  cantonments  and  in  war  stricken  Europe,  all  of  whom 
served  with  honor  and  credit  to  themselves  and  this  community.

United  States,  148  were  wounded  in  France,  while  268  were  cited  or  decor- 
ated for  gallantry  under  fire.  During  the  war  180,000  shows  and  entertain- 
ments were  given  the  soldiers  and  sailors  in  which  12,154,570  feet  of  pic- 
ture films  were  used;  1,000,000  sheets  of  writing  paper  and  500,000  en- 
velopes given  the  service  men  each  day,  while  323,432  soldiers  and  sail- 
ors remitted  money  home  through  the  organization,  the  amount  of  money 
being  handled  through  this  department  amounting  to  $37,237,000.00.

Knights  of  Columbus 

THE  work  of  the  Knights  of  Columbus  of  Aurora  during  the  war 
covers  a  diversified  field.  In  every  war  activity,  both  military  and 
civil,  the  Knights  did  a  noble  part. 

At  the  time  the  World's  War  was  declared,  April  6,  1917,  the  Knights 
of  Columbus  of  Aurora  met  the  situation  and  began  planning  along  various 
lines,  ways  and  means  in  the  interest  of  our  country.  First  by  encourage- 
ment and  full  co-operation  in  every  enterprise  launched  by  the  Govern- 
ment. Secondly,  the  encouragement  of  enlistments  in  the  Army  and  Navy. 

One  man  in  every  four  went  into  the  armed  service.  What  they  did, 
the  story  of  the  Albert  sector,  of  St.  Mihiel,  of  Bellou  Woods,  of  Chateau 
Thierry,  of  the  Argonne  Forest  and  of  the  Meuse  and  Somme,  and  in  the 
sea  watchers  tells,  for  there  was  scarcely  a  division  of  the  great  American 
Expeditionary  Force  but  counted  a  Knight  of  Columbus  from  Aurora  in 
its  roster. 

The  one  man  in  four  of  our  Aurora  brothers  who  went  away  gave  good 
account  of  himself.  What  of  the  three  who  could  not  go? 

Aurora's  response  to  the  first  call  for  funds,  made  by  the  supreme 
directors,  the  $2  per  capita  assessment,  which  at  that  time  seemed  so  great, 
was  such  as  to  give  us  high  place,  for  the  state  over-paid  the  tax,  raising  a 
total  of  $90,276.00  according  to  a  report  made  by  Supreme  Secretary 
McGinley  to  then  State  Deputy  LeRoy  Hackett,  November  27,  1917. 
After  that  time  belated  returns  from  the  assessment  increased  the  total. 

In  the  second  Knights  of  Columbus  War  Fund  call,  which  resulted  in  the 
first  public  drive  for  funds  in  December,  1917,  Aurora  raised  $17,000.00, 
over-subscribing  the  $10,000.00  quota  assigned. 

In  the  third  call,  in  which  the  people  of  Aurora  were  asked  to  pledge  the 
amount  of  one-half  hour's  pay  per  week,  the  members  of  Aurora  Council, 
K.  of  C.,  worked  zealously  upon  the  different  committees  and  teams  and 
assisted  greatly  in  the  raising  of  $350,000  to  be  known  as  the  Aurora 
Patriot's  Fund. 

Aurora  Council,  K.  of  C.,  were  represented  upon  the  Committee  of 
Fifteen  of  the  Aurora  Patriot's  Fund  by  two  of  her  members,  who  gave 
their  time  gladly  to  assist  the  people  of  Aurora  in  furthering  the  great 
cause  of  democracy. 

The  members  of  Aurora  Council,  Knights  of  Columbus,  assisted  not 
only  in  the  war  work  at  home  but  also  in  many  ways  throughout  the  entire 
United  States  and  also  abroad. 

A  well-known  gentleman  of  New  York,  Mr.  James  Byrne,  in  a  public 
address  delivered  not  very  long  ago,  referred  to  the  growth  of  the  Knights 
of  Columbus  in  war  work  as  being  one  of  the  most  surprising  phenomena 


[  305  ] 


of  the  war.  He  declared  that  the  Knights  of  Columbus  had  reached, 
within  a  few  months,  a  degree  of  effectiveness  that  would  ordinarily  have 
taken  twenty-five  years  to  realize.  This  declaration  is  literally  true.  The 
war  provided  the  opportunity  to  test  the  strength  of  the  Order,  to  find  out 
whether  this  organization,  founded  on  a  wise  constitution,  would  be  worthy 
of  its  prosperity  by  rising  to  do  great  things  for  the  national  cause.  In  the 
manifold  duties  that  faced  every  citizen  during  the  crisis,  there  would 
have  been  valid  excuse  for  the  plea  that  their  full  energies  were  being  util- 
ized, that  they  ought  not  to  be  expected  to  give  extra  effort  furthering  the 
aims  of  the  war  organization  which  the  Knights  added  to  the  already  ela- 
borate machinery  working  towards  the  common  end — the  winning  of  the 
war. 

The  fact  that,  from  coast  to  coast,  from  the  Canadian  to  the  Mexican 
border,  the  American  Knights  responded,  as  their  Canadian  brothers  had 
done,  to  the  call  for  a  new  and  separate  aid  in  addition  to  the  effort  which 
each  man  was  putting  forth,  attested  the  Order's  strength  and  confidence 
in  the  administration  responsible  for  its  affairs.  Upon  this  foundation  of 
sound  laws  conscientiously  administered  the  Knights  were  assured  success 
in  their  undertaking  so  long  as  their  merits  were  recognized  by  the  public 
and  their  coffers  replenished  as  need  arose.  From  the  most  modest  be- 
ginnings the  organization  progressed  from  one  point  to  another,  from 
camp  to  camp,  until  the  entire  ground  was  covered. 

The  work  of  the  Knights  of  Columbus  at  the  front  was  of  the  very 
marrow  of  the  war — because  it  held  much  of  what  was  best  in  the  war, 
self-sacrifice  and  brotherly  love.

Boy  Scouts  of  America 

*_ 

IN  ALL  the  war  activities  of  Aurora,  organized  boyhood,  through  the 
Boy  Scouts  of  America,  was  privileged  to  have  a  definite  part,  and 
fulfilled  every  opportunity  for  service. 

Under  the  leadership  of  Walter  M.  K.  Kiplinger,  Scout  Executive  of 
Aurora,  and  the  splendid  group  of  volunteer  workers  who  served  as 
Scoutmasters,  Aurora's  Boy  Scout  organization  made  an  enviable  record 
in  every  service  it  was  called  upon  to  perform,  and  local  officials  have 
testified  to  their  appreciation,  not  alone  as  to  the  actual  services  rendered 
by  the  Boy  Scouts,  but  to  the  spirit  and  effectiveness  of  that  service. 


SOME  OF  AURORA'S  BOY  SCOUTS 

The  following  is  a  brief  summary  of  the  Boy  Scout  achievements  in 
Aurora : 

In  four  Liberty  Loan  campaigns,  they  sold  2500  subscriptions,  amount- 
ing to  $267,490.00,  during  the  final  weeks  of  each  loan  drive,  after  reg- 
ular soliciting  organizations  had  thoroughly  canvassed  the  city. 

Sold  $60,000  worth  of  1918  War  Savings  Stamps. 

Located  300,000  feet  of  standing  black  walnut  in  Kane  County  for  the 
War  Department. 

Collected  many  barrels  of  fruit  pits  and  nut  shells  for  gas  masks. 

Planted  and  cultivated  war  gardens. 

Distributed  250,000  pieces  of  U.  S.  Government  literature. 


[  307  ] 


Rendered  invaluable  services  to  the  Red  Cross,  the  United  War  Work 
Committee  and  other  National  organizations  serving  the  Government. 

Assisted  the  Food  and  Fuel  Administrations  in  many  ways.  Co-oper- 
ated in  the  American  Library  Association  drive  for  books  for  the  army 
and  navy. 

Instrumental  in  campaign  which  established  Aurora's  War  Chest  by 
distributing  10,000  information  booklets,  one  to  every  home  in  Aurora. 

Performed  countless  acts  of  service  to  the  Government,  not  recorded 
under  any  special  classification. 

Practically  every  Patriotic  poster  exhibited  in  Aurora  windows  was 
distributed  by  the  Boy  Scouts. 

They  served  as  ushers,  aides  and  orderlies  at  practically  every  patriotic 
meeting  held  in  Aurora  during  the  war  period. 

Many  former  Scouts  and  Scoutmasters  served  with  the  colors. 

They  presented  a  united  front  of  patriotic  zeal  which  in  itself  was  of 
incalculable  value  to  the  city  and  country. 

Aurora  has  22  troops  of  Boy  Scouts  with  a  total  membership  of  450 
of  the  brightest  young  chaps  in  Illinois.  The  winners  of  the  272  honorary 
medals  and  bars  offered  for  exceptional  work  by  the  United  States  Treas- 
ury Department  for  the  sale  of  Liberty  Bonds  were :

Five  Liberty  Loans 

AS  IN  the  Civil  and  Spanish  American  Wars,  Aurora  not  only  re- 
sponded  to   the  government's   call   with   its   greatest,   truest,    and 
rarest  capital — men — in  extravagant  ratio,  but  its  dollars  did  glor- 
ious duty  behind  her  brave  sons  and  poured  out  in  a  ceaseless  and  ever- 
growing torrent  to  meet  every  campaign  launched. 

In  the  five  Liberty  Loans,  the  record  established  by  this  city  was  in- 
deed magnificent  and  was  accomplished  only  because  of  its  united  and  de- 
termined people  assisting  in  every  way  possible  one  of  the  best  campaign 
organizations  this  city  could  gather  together.  Aurora's  quota  for  the 
five  loans  was  placed  at  $6,313,743.00,  but,  as  a  result  of  the  campaigns 
carried  on  here,  the  total  amount  raised  reached  $8,269,060.00,  an  over- 
subscription of  $1,955,317.00,  or  30  per  cent. 

In  May,  shortly  after  the  declaration  of  war,  came  the  call  for  the  first 
loan,  Aurora's  quota  being  $750,000.00,  and  as  in  most  cities  of  the 
country,  the  organization  was  then  only  in  its  infancy,  but,  nevertheless, 
with  the  few  workers,  enlisted,  $890,000.00,  which  was  reported  to  the 
authorities  as  this  city's  contribution  at  the  close  of  the  campaign,  June 
15,  1917. 

When  the  second  loan  was  launched  in  September,  1917,  Aurora's 
Liberty  Loan  organization  was  fully  organized  and  worked  with  in- 
creased enthusiasm  as  each  succeeding  loan  campaign  was  inaugurated. 
Equally  important  in  the  loan  drives,  with  the  executives  in  charge  of  the 
campaigns,  was  the  great  work  accomplished  by  the  Aurora  "Ad"  Club, 
nearly  the  entire  membership  composing  a  committee  under  the  chairman- 
ship of  Edward  Waegner  and  which  had  full  control  of  the  many  adver- 
tising features  in  each  campaign. 

This  committee  had  all  the  features  used  throughout  the  country  and 
many  more  which  were  original.  They  solicited  the  advertising  space, 
engineered  the  posting  of  bills,  and,  in  fact,  placed  the  liberty  loan  pro- 
positions up  to  the  people  as  was  never  before  accomplished  in  this  vicin- 
ity on  any  project. 

Boy  Scouts  carried  millions  of  bills  and  posters  to  stores  and  homes; 
Four-Minute  men  spoke  at  all  performances  in  the  local  theaters;  clergy- 
men preached  bond  buying  from  the  pulpits;  teachers  in  all  the  schools 
urged  the  students  to  save  and  buy  bonds;  bond  buying  was  talked  every- 
where and  at  all  hours  of  the  day  and  night  with  the  result,  Aurora  went 
over  the  top  in  every  instance. 

The  Liberty  Loan  organization  in  Aurora  Township  was  in  charge  of 
the  following  executives: 

W.  W.  Armstrong,  Chairman  of  Liberty  Loans  in  Kane  County. 
Wm.  George,  Chairman  of  Kane  County  Bankers  Committee.

determined  not  only  to  back  the  "boys"  to  the  best  of  their  ability  but  to 
see  that  every  other  person  in  the  community  did  the  same,  proved  its 
worth  by  oversubscribing  every  loan  launched.

American  Protective  League 

A  BRANCH  of  the  American  Protective  League,  better  known  as  a 
special  detective  force  of  the  Department  of  Justice,  working  under 
instructions   from  the  headquarters   at   Chicago   and  Washington, 
was  organized  in  this  city  shortly  after  the  declaration  of  war,  and  from 
May  1,   1917,  until    it    was    disbanded    in    1919,    this    organization  of 
over  150  of  our  keen  business  men  conducted  their  line  of  work  in  such 
an  able  manner  as  to  receive  the  highest  words  of  commendation  that 
the  Department  officials  could  bestow. 

The  local  jurisdiction  extended  over  the  territory  bounded  by  Geneva, 
Waterman,  Mendota,  Plainfield,  Naperville  and  Wheaton,  while  its  im- 
mediate duties  were  to  investigate  and  report  to  different  department 
heads  all  matters  directed  to  their  attention  and  with  the  utmost  dis- 
patch. 

This  corps  of  volunteers,  among  other  things,  investigated  all  sup- 
posed pro-Germans,  anti-Americans,  looked  up  reported  delinquents  from 
Local  Exemption  Boards,  blind  pigs  and  numerous  other  governmental 
subjects. 

On  the  call  from  the  government  for  photos  and  views  of  Germany 
and  Belgium,  to  be  used  in  the  aviation  department  of  the  U.  S.  Army, 
engaged  in  bombing  parties,  the  local  league  operatives  were  able  to  se- 
cure a  great  collection  for  the  government,  one  of  which,  composed  of 
over  600  pictures  and  maps,  was  pronounced  the  best  collection  obtained 
by  the  government.  These  pictures,  together  with  a  large  collection  of 
field  glasses,  obtained  from  residents  of  Aurora,  proved  a  great  assist- 
ance to  the  army  and  navy  forces  of  the  United  States. 

Every  applicant  for  passports  for  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  K.  of  C.  or  Red  Cross 
workers  was  carefully  investigated  by  this  body,  dozens  of  supposed 
slackers  were  delivered  to  the  authorities,  besides  the  handling  of  335 
major  cases  of  investigation  from  the  Department  of  Justice. 

As  a  result  of  their  labors,  four  men  were  interned  by  the  Govern- 
ment. Co-operating  with  them  were  the  police  in  the  entire  territory,  and 
great  assistance  was  given  the  corps  by  Chief  Charles  McCarty  and  his 
police  department  and  Thomas  Smith,  Deputy  U.  S.  Marshal,  so  that 
with  this  most  efficient  organization  every  case  brought  to  its  attention 
was  quickly  investigated  and  reported  with  dispatch  to  the  government 
officials  for  appropriate  action.

Aurora  Division  of  the  State  Council 

of  Defense 

*y 

ORGANIZED  on  October  9,  1917,  for  the  purpose  of  assisting 
the  State  Council  of  Defense  in  its  labors  in  this  vicinity,  the 
Aurora  Division,  composed  of  nearly  two  hundred  patriotic  citi- 
zens, did  most  commendable  work,  in  many  instances  unknown  to  the  rest 
of  the  people  of  the  city.  Their  work  of  investigating  alien  enemies  in 
this  section  was  perfected,  after  a  careful  registration  of  each  person  in 
the  city  was  made.  They  assisted  in  all  bond  campaigns  and  stamp  drives; 
investigated  reported  violations  of  the  laws  and  war  rules;  assisted  in  the 
conservation  of  fuel,  food  and  building  materials,  so  that  every  ounce  of 
material  and  energy  could  be  used  for  war  work  and  for  a  successful  end- 
ing of  the  war.  The  officers  of  the  Kane  County  Council  were  Rev. 
Chas.  Alden,  Chairman,  and  Fred  B.  Shearer,  Secretary,  while  the  local 
council  was  in  charge  of  Judge  S.  N.  Hoover,  Chairman,  and  W.  A. 
Searl,  Secretary.

HON.  FRED  B.  SHEARER 
CHAIRMAN,  AURORA  FOUR  MINUTE  MEN 


[  328  ] 


Four-Minute  Men 

THE  Four  Minute  Men  of  Aurora,  an  organization  of  volunteer 
business    and    professional   men,    under   the   direction   of    Fred    B. 
Shearer,  proved  itself  one  of  the  most  important  cogs  in  the  won- 
derful war  machine  in  this  city,  from  the  time  of  its  inception  during  the 
Second  Liberty  Loan  until  after  the  signing  of  the  armistice. 

The  "Four  Minute  Men"  was  an  organization,  conceived  and  carried 
out  by  some  clever  patriot,  to  arouse  the  people  of  the  United  States  to 
the  highest  pitch  of  patriotic  endeavor.  Composed  entirely  of  volun- 
teers, its  mission  was  to  convey  to  the  people,  throughout  the  country, 
messages  of  the  government  in  connection  with  its  war  program,  boost- 
ing enlistments,  the  sales  of  Liberty  Bonds,  War  Saving  and  Thrift 
Stamps,  and  establishing  and  maintaining  that  morale  among  the  citizens 
which  backed  the  fighting  forces  to  the  limit.  They  did  this  by  appearing 
before  the  moving  picture  theatres  and  other  ready-made  audiences, 
speaking  for  a  period  of  only  four  minutes. 

What  great  work  was  accomplished  by  the  local  Four  Minute  Men 
will  never  be  known,  but  the  fact  that  these  men  spoke  to  from  50,000  to 
75,000  people  each  month  at  public  gatherings,  and  that  Aurora  went 
"over  the  top"  in  every  war  enterprise  proved  the  organization  of  untold 
value  in  the  war  work  of  this  community. 

President  Wilson,  in  the  early  part  of  the  war  said: 

"Upon  you  Four  Minute  Men  who  are  charged  with  the  special  duty 
and  enjoy  a  special  privilege  in  the  command  of  your  audiences  will  rest 
in  a  considerable  degree  the  task  of  arousing  and  informing  the  great  body 
of  our  people. 

"My  best  wishes  and  continued  interest  with  you  in  your  work  as  part 
of  the  reserve  officers  corps  in  a  nation  thrice  armed  because  through  your 
efforts  it  knows  better  the  justice  of  its  cause  and  the  value  of  what  it 
defends." 

On  November  29,  1918,  after  the  signing  of  the  armistice,  he  wrote 
the  Four  Minute  Men,  in  part,  as  follows: 

"Each  member  of  your  organization  in  receiving  your 
honorable  discharge  from  the  service,  may  justly  feel  a 
glow  of  proper  pride  in  the  part  he  has  played  in  holding 
fast  the  inner  lines." 

This  national  organization  was  composed  of  about  75,000  men,  speak- 
ing every  day  and  night,  and  reached,  it  is  believed,  about  15,000,000  peo- 
ple every  twenty-four  hours  during  the  period  of  the  war.

War  Saving  and  Thrift  Stamps 

IN  THE  fall  of  1917,  Hon.  Frank  A.  Vanderlip,  a  former  citizen  of 
the  City  of  Aurora,  now  probably  the  leading  financial  authority  of 
the  United  States,  conceived  the  plan  of  raising  war  funds,  whereby 
every  person  in  the  country,  especially  those  who  could  not  invest  in  Lib- 
erty Bonds,  could  participate  in  the  work  of  assisting  the  Government 
with  his  or  her  mite  by  means  of  War  Saving  and  Thrift  Stamps. 

Under  this  plan,  a  thrift  stamp  could  be  obtained  from  the  post  office, 
practically  each  mercantile  establishment,  every  school,  either  public  or 
parochial,  and  most  any  of  the  shops  and  factories  by  paying  twenty-five 
cents. 

Saving  these  stamps  until  they,  with  a  few  pennies  added,  amounted  to 
from  $4.12  to  $4.23,  they  were  exchangeable  at  the  post  office  for  a  war 
saving  stamp,  for  which  the  United  States  Government  will  in  1923  pay 
the  holder  $5.00. 

By  this  means,  millions  of  dollars  were  raised  by  the  children  of  the 
nation  and  the  investors,  who  soon  realized  the  war  stamp  proposition  to 
be  a  better  investment  than  even  Liberty  Bonds. 

In  the  work  of  disposing  of  war  stamps,  the  citizens  of  Aurora,  both 
old  and  young,  took  hold  with  a  true  spirit,  and  not  only  led  the  County 
of  Kane,  but  ranked  among  the  highest  in  the  country,  with  nearly  a  half 
million  in  sales.  The  limit  to  stamp  purchases  was  placed  at  $1000.00  to 
a  person,  and  in  Aurora  117  persons  were  placed  on  the  honor  roll  as 
having  obtained  the  certificate  showing  a  thousand  dollar  purchase. 

From  December  1st,  1917,  until  December  31st,  1918,  the  Post  Office 
department  in  Aurora  shows  the  following  sales  for  the  city:

HON.  FRANK  A.  VANDERLiP 

FORMER  AURORA  MAN 

WORLD'S  GREATEST  FINANCIER  AND  THE  ORIGINATOR  OF 
THE  WAR  SAVING  AND  THRIFT  STAMPS 


[  332  ] 


In  Aurora,  with  its  many  patriotic  enterprises,  the  work  of  organizing 
and  carrying  on  the  stamp  campaign  fell  to  the  Post  Office  officials,  a  mon- 
ster job  in  itself,  to  say  nothing  of  the  vast  increase  in  the  postal  service 
line,  caused  by  the  parcel  post  and  the  Selective  Service,  or  draft-board 
work. 

In  the  labor  of  disposing  of  these  stamps  a  most  efficient  organization 
was  established  by  Postmaster  Louis  A.  Stoll  and  Elliott  Pritchard,  Sr., 
assisted  by  the  officials  and  teachers  of  all  schools,  the  postal  employes, 
the  Four  Minute  Men,  Commercial  Club,  and  the  citizens  in  general,  who, 
realizing  the  proposition  as  not  only  a  patriotic  one  but  a  good  invest- 
ment, urged  the  same  on  to  the  limit. 

Especially  commendable  was  the  great  work  of  the  mail  carriers  and 
the  hundreds  of  school  children.  At  the  postoffice,  Ernest  G.  Schmidt  was 
in  full  charge  of  the  stamp  accounting,  and  from  the  reports  on  file  in  that 
office  the  mail  carriers'  sales  are  registered  as  follows: 

Edward  Weidman $41,000.00          James  J.  Stubbs 17,498.56 

Mathew  Treirweiler   38,559.09          Albert  Retterer 1 1,363.00 

Fred  Burkle   37,270.00          Arthur  Farr   10,335.80 

William  Perry   30,512.90          John  Ivarson 10,110.00 

while  the  remainder  of  the  carriers,  working  in  the  residence  districts, 
Nicholas -Caas,  Albert  Davis,  James  Emigh,  James  Miller,  Edward 
Flannigan,  Robert  Reid,  August  Spinck,  Gustave  Lundgren,  William 
Lindgren,  Edward  Lindgren,  George  Lull,  Hans  Hanson,  Hans  Hen- 
drickson,  Frank  Gulp,  William  Beach,  Fritz  B.  Smith,  Ernest  Mihr  and 
John  Carr,  each  disposed  of  over  $5000.00  worth  and  raised  the  post- 
office  sales  to  nearly  $400,000.00. 

The  month  of  August,  1918,  with  the  week  of  the  15th  to  the  22nd, 
designated  as  Pershing  week,  was  the  banner  month  of  the  year,  not  only 
in  Aurora,  but  throughout  the  nation,  when  a  determined  effort  was  made 
to  show  the  Commander-in-Chief  of  the  Expeditionary  Forces  and  the 
fighting,  boys  in  France,  on  the  eve  of  the  famous  American  advances 
through  the  German  lines,  that  the  nation  was  with  them  to  the  finish. 

In  the  schools  of  the  city  a  most  efficient  organization  was  perfected 
by  the  teachers  and  officials,  and,  as  a  result,  practically  all  pupils  from 
the  high  schools  down  to  the  primary  grades,  worked  like  beavers  for  the 
coveted  stamps.

Aurora  Soldier's  and  Sailor's  Auxiliary 

ON  JULY  28,  1917,  shortly  after  the  declaration  of  war,  a  number 
of  public  spirited  citizens,  realizing  that  within  a  short  time  the 
hiilitia  companies  would  be  called  to  the  "colors,"  to  be  followed 
later  by  calls  upon  the  draft  list  for  fighting  men,  organized  the  Aurora 
Soldiers'  and  Sailors'  Auxiliary  in  order  that  everything  possible  should 
be  done  to  encourage  the  boys  who  were  to  serve  in  the  army  and  navy. 

This:  organization  was  perfected  under  License  No.  189  from  the  State 
Council  of  Defense  for  the  following  purposes : 

To  encourage  the  Aurora  soldiers  and  sailors  in  the  performance  of 
their  duties. 

To  foster  patriotism  of  our  soldiers  and  sailors  and  the  residents  of 
the  community. 

To  organize  Aurora's  manufacturing,  mercantile,  professional  and 
social  interests  to  back  our  representatives  in  the  war. 

To  create  a  fund  for  emergency  purposes  for  the  Aurora  soldiers  and 
sailors. 

To  do  our  bit  for  our  country  during  the  period  of  the  war. 

Its  officers  were : 

President — Hon.  James  E.  Harley. 

Secretary — John  M.  Peffers. 

Treasurer — Frank  J.  Knight. 

Executive  Committee — Dr.  C.  E.  Colvvell,  W.  W.  Stephens,  John  F. 

Holslag,  John   L.  Walker,   Charles   F.   Wade,  Joseph   Reid,   E.   C. 

Finch,  David  Richmond  and  John  Schmitz. 

On  August  7,  1917,  while  the  members  of  the  Third  Regiment  com- 
panies were  recruiting  to  war  strength  and  awaiting  the  mobilization  call 
from  Washington,  the  citizens  of  Aurora,  under  the  guidance  of  the  Army 
and  Navy  Auxiliary,  tendered  the  boys  a  farewell  chicken  dinner  and  pic- 
nic at  Fox  River  Park. 

On  November  10,  1917,  hundreds  of  the  young  women  of  the  city, 
under  chairmanship  of  Mrs.  Theodore  Worcester,  conducted  a  Tag  Day 
from  which  was  realized  $4300.00,  which  proved  enough,  whereby  the 
Auxiliary  officials  were  enabled  to  forward  to  every  soldier,  sailor  and 
marine  then  in  the  service  a  Christmas  check  for  $4.84. 

On  September  12,  1917,  the  day  before  the  Third  Regiment  left  for 
Camp  Logan,  the  Auxiliary  presented,  in  the  name  of  Aurora,  a  fine  sad- 
dle horse  to  Col.  Charles  Greene  and  another  to  First  Lieut.  James  San- 
ders, while  on  October  5,  1917,  by  energetic  work,  the  society  was  able 
to  convey  to  the  company  headquarters  of  the  Aurora  boys  at  Camp  Grant 
a  piano  and  Victrola  with  a  supply  of  music  for  each. 


[  337  ] 


During  the  month's  training  at  Camp  Logan,  the  officers  of  the  Au- 
rora companies  were  at  all  times  in  charge  of  funds  from  the  society, 
whereby  any  and  all  emergency  calls  for  money  were  quickly  met. 

Later,  when  the  Patriot's  Fund  came  into  existence,  the  necessity  of  the 
Army  and  Navy  Auxiliary  terminated,  that  organization  taking  care  of 
all  demands  for  funds  from  whatsoever  source. 

During  its  existence,  great  work  was  accomplished,  its  receipts  amount- 
ing to  $6878.25,  while  its  expenses  amounted  to  $5798.42.  Upon  the 
disbandment  of  the  organization,  the  remainder  of  the  funds  in  the 
treasury,  amounting  to  $988.83,  was  donated  to  the  Red  Cross  Fund. 


[  338  ] 


Navy  League 


WITH  the  declaration  of  war  in  April,  1917,  Carroll  Miller,  then 
connected  with  the  Western  United  Gas  and  Electric  Co.,  inter- 
ested a  number  of  the  patriotic  men  of  the  community  in  an  organ- 
ization, known  as  the  Navy  League.  Its  objects  were  primarily  to  assist 
the  government  in  increasing  the  navy  enlistments,  so  that  when  the  army 
was  ready  for  transport,  Uncle  Sam's  growing  navy  would  be  properly 
manned  for  protection  in  transporting  our  troops  across  the  Atlantic. 

Through  this  organization,  a  store  in  Broadway  was  secured,  equipped 
with  proper  furniture  and  naval  literature,  and  placed  in  charge  of  J.  J. 
McGarry,  a  returned  naval  man. 

Great  work  in  the  matter  of  enlistments  for  the  navy  was  accomplished 
at  both  this  headquarters  and  also  in  the  tent,  later  placed  on  the  Island, 
adjacent  to  the.  City  Hall  until  the  naval  department,  advising  the  Navy 
League  throughout  the  county  of  its  intention  to  assume  full  charge  of 
the  naval  enlistment  work. 

The  local  league  then  ceased  its  labors,  with  the  proud  record  of  having 
secured  for  the  navy  the  highest  percentage  of  recruits  from  the  great 
Central  Naval  District.  The  Navy  League,  like  most  local  organizations, 
was  composed  entirely  of  volunteer  workers  who  also  contributed  all  the 
funds  needed  to  carry  on  the  work  in  this  city. 


[339] 


Aurora  Churches 

DURING  the  terrible  hours  of  war,  when  rumors  of  disaster  were 
at  times  afloat,  the  work  of  encouraging  our  people  and  allaying 
their  fears  devolved  to  a  great  extent  upon  the  clergy  and  mem- 
bers of  the  churches.  Not  only  was  this  work  successfully  carried  out  in 
our  city,  but  wonderful  results  were  accomplished  by  the  many  church  or- 
ganizations in  all  branches  of  the  war  servicee. 

In  every  church  of  Aurora,  Red  Cross  units  worked  unceasingly  for 
the  cause;  Liberty  Loan  campaigns  were  conducted  from  the  pulpits; 
Thrift  and  Savings  Stamps  were  recommended,  all  of  which  resulted  in 
the  wonderful  record  attained  by  the  Aurora  citizens  in  the  successful 
ending  of  the  war. 

Not  only  did  the  church  people  play  a  prominent  part  in  the  work  of 
backing  the  boys,  but  nearly  one-half  of  the  boys  who  offered  up  their 
life  and  blood  on  the  battle  lines  and  warships  were  affiliated  with  our 
churches,  as  the  following  report  shows:

Aurora  Schools 

AS  THE  hands  of  Time  move  slowly  around  and  we  commence  to 
realize  the  wonderful  achievements  of  our  soldiers,  sailors  and 
marines  on  the  battle  fields  and  seas,  more  and  more  brilliant 
appears  the  great  work  accomplished  by  the  wonderful  school  system  of 
our  Nation.  While  many  institutions  of  the  nation  and  world  failed  to 
withstand  the  strain  of  the  war,  the  school  system  not  only  weathered 
the  shock  and  confusion,  but  rendered  service  to  the  city,  state  and  nation 
which  can  never  be  estimated. 

Too  much  cannot  be  said  or  written  of  the  great  work  rendered  by  the 
teachers  and  students  of  the  Aurora  schools  during  the  late  war.  Coached 
to  perfection  with  patriotic  ideas  by  the  unexcelled  teaching  corps,  no  war 
enterprise  was  carried  to  completion  or  success  without  the  wonderful 
assistance  of  the  student  body  of  the  local  schools.  They  were  in  every 
undertaking,  Liberty  Loan  campaigns,  Red  Cross  work,  Thrift  and  Sav- 
ings Stamp  drives,  Food  and  Fuel  conservation,  their  youthful  enthusiasm 
carrying  their  elders  along  to  a  successful  termination  in  every  instance. 

Only  with  the  great  work  rendered  by  the  students  and  teachers  of  the 
local  schools  in  hours  and  days  of  toil  did  the  Local  Board  for  the  City 
of  Aurora,  with  nearly  9,000  registrants,  accomplish  its  work  designated 
by  the  War  Department,  the  first  in  the  great  State  of  Illinois.  Not  an 
instance  can  be  recalled,  when  called  upon  to  work,  that  they  failed  the 
Board,  and  always  proved  equal  to  the  task. 

The  work  of  the  teachers  and  students  with  the  Local  Board  was  but  a 
small  portion  of  the  great  work  accomplished  by  the  schools.  Nearly  all 
pupils  were  enrolled  in  the  Junior  Red  Cross  legion;  hundreds  toiled  on 
Red  Cross  supplies;  urged  householders  to  save  on  fuel;  bought  thrift 
and  savings  stamps  by  the  thousands;  bought  bonds,  totalling  nearly 
$100,000.00.  Many  students  of  the  High  schools  took  up  the  work  of 
assisting  farmers  during  the  summer  months,  besides  creating  a  patriotic 
enthusiasm  throughout  the  community,  never  before  attained  in  any  city 
in  the  world.

FIRST  PRESIDENT  OF  THE  JEWISH  RELIEF  ASSOCIATION 


[  348  ] 


Jewish  Relief  Work 

IN  1916,  two  years  after  the  great  world  war  commenced,  it  was  real- 
ized in  this  country  that  the  Jewish  people,  especially  those  residing 
in  Russia,  were  still  the  principal  sufferers  of  the  cruel  warfare  in 
Europe.     As  in  the  years  gone  by,  "God's  Chosen  People,"  as  the  Jewish 
people  are  mentioned  in  the  Holy  Scriptures,  continued  to  suffer  untold 
misery  and  hardships  at  the  hands  of  the  Russian  classes,  until  the  Ameri- 
can people,   regardless   of  class  or  religion,   took  up  the   proposition  of 
assisting  this  downtrodden   race  of  Europe,   not  only  with  financial   and 
moral  support,  but  with  food  and  medical  supplies. 

In  1916,  an  Aurora  Society,  affiliated  with  the  Chicago  Relief  Associ- 
ation, was  organized  with  the  following  officers: 

President Israel  Joseph 

Secretary Julius    Zidell 

Treasurer Joseph    Swimmer 

For  one  year  and  a  half,  Mr.  Joseph  served  as  the  president,  when  he 
was  succeeded  by  Albert  M.  Hirsh,  the  retiring  president  assuming  the 
position  of  general  solicitor  for  the  cause.  This  society  consisted  of 
twenty-five  members,  who  were  ably  assisted  in  their  work  by  the  entire 
population  of  the  city  to  the  extent  that  the  following  financial  assistance 
was  forwarded  from  this  city  to  the  afflicted  parts  of  the  world: 

1916  $  3,513.11 

1917  3,137.35 

1918  7,379.50 

1919  9,969.06 


Total   $23,999.02 

While  this  amount  of  money  may  seem  small  in  proportion  to  the  vast 
amount  raised  throughout  the  country,  it  reveals  the  fact  that  no  matter 
what  relief  organization  needed  funds  to  carry  on  its  laudable  work,  the 
Aurora  people  were  always  ready  and  responded  most  nobly  with  financial 
assistance. 

In  1919,  on  the  call  for  further  financial  assistance  for  the  suffering 
Jewish  people  of  Europe,  Aurora  Township,  under  the  Chairmanship  of 
Honorable  John  M.  Raymond,  with  an  excellent  campaign  organization, 
quickly  raised  its  allotment  of  $26,000.00.

HON.  JOHN  M.  RAYMOND 
CHAIRMAN  JEWISH  RELIEF  DRIVE  IN  1919 


[  350  ] 


Roumanian  Patriots 

REGARDLESS  of  the  fact  that  they  were  subjects  of  an  alien  enemy 
country,  our  Roumanian  population,  which  of  late  years  has  been 
greatly  increased,  demonstrated  to  the  citizens  of  Aurora,  early  in 
the  war,  their  Love  for  the  United  States  and  its  institutions,  and  through- 
out the  unpleasantness  of  war,  they  participated  with  enthusiastic  vigor 
in  every  patriotic  movement  launched  in  this  vicinity. 

A  large  majority  of  this  population  was  born  in  Transylvania,  a  country 
confiscated  a  number  of  years  ago  from  Roumania  by  Austria-Hungary, 
and  while  unfortunate  to  have  been  born  on  Hungarian  soil,  they  still 
retained  the  desire  to  be  classed  as  Roumanian  subjects. 

Early  in  the  war,  a  committtee  of  these  patriots,  under  the  leadership 
of  such  men  as  George  Demeter,  Dr.  A.  N.  Kitenplon,  Gregory  Olar  and 
the  late  Rev.  Fr.  John  Pop  took  up  the  work  of  Americanization  of  their 
friends,  and  as  a  result  of  their  labors,  every  bond  issue,  saving  stamp 
or  other  patriotic  drive  launched  in  the  city  was  not  only  successful  with 
this  population,  but  always  one  of  the  first  "over  the  top." 

Hundreds  of  these  people  immediately  made  their  declaration  of  in- 
tention to  become  citizens  in  the  Federal  courts  and  many  have  not  only 
filed  for  their  final  papers,  but  have  taken  advantage  of  the  night  schools 
instituted  by  the  school  authorities,  with  the  view  of  not  only  improving 
their  condition  but  becoming  more  enlightened  concerning  our  institutions. 
Many  enlisted  in  the  military  service,  while  the  majority  of  the  registrants 
of  this  nationality  waived  exemption  before  the  war  board,  and  in  many 
instances  implored  the  authorities  to  allow  them  to  enlist  to  defend  the 
flag,  but  because  of  the  laws,  promulgated  by  the  government,  this  priv- 
ilege was  denied  them  in  most  cases. 

During  the  summer  of  1918,  after  the  entry  of  Roumania  into  the  con- 
flict, the  great  Roumanian  Commission,  visiting  in  this  country  for  the 
purpose  of  uniting  the  subjects  of  that  country  residing  in  the  United 
States  to  assist  this  government  in  every  way,  visited  this  city,  addressed 
these  people  and  thus  increased  the  enthusiasm  of  the  entire  community  in 
war  work.

Home  Guard 

WITH  the  departure  of  the  Third  Infantry  to  war,  leaving  the  State 
without  military  protection  from  any  possible  internal  trouble, 
the  Aurora  Commercial  Club  started  an  investigation  by  appoint- 
ing a  committee,  through  whose  efforts  the  Home  Guard  was  organized. 
An  instructor  was  hired  and  weekly  drills  were  held  at  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
gymnasium.  Over  one  hundred  signed  the  original  muster  roll,  and  on 
December  26th,  1917,  Unit  No.  67,  Volunteer  Training  Corps  of  Illinois, 
with  a  complement  of  commissioned  officers  and  privates,  was  fully  or- 
ganized and  recognized  by  the  Illinois  State  Council  of  Defense. 

Few  people  realize  just  how  important  it  was  that  we  should  have  mili- 
tary companies  in  this  vicinity  during  the  war,  but  the  fact  can  now  be  re- 
vealed to  the  public  that  through  Kane  and  Will  Counties,  Illinois,  ran 
the  principal  trunk  lines  of  the  American  railroad  system,  all  entering  the 
great  city  of  Chicago. 

Can  one  estimate  the  damage  that  could  have  been  caused  the  govern- 
ment of  the  United  States  and  the  allied  cause  if  some  alien  enemy,'  or 
unpatriotic  person,  with  the  inclination  to  damage  the  government,  had 
with  a  few  high  explosive  bombs  discharged  the  same  on  any  of  the  sev- 
eral bridges  belonging  to  the  railroads  traversing  the  two  counties?  The 
result  would  have  been  that  these  important  railroad  systems,  carrying, 
millions  of  men  and  millions  of  war  supplies  east,  would  have  been  stopped 
for  some  considerable  period  while  repairs  were  being  made. 

Although  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  gymnasium,  which  had  been  so  kindly  do- 
nated for  drill  purposes,  had  served  temporarily,  the  size  of  the  com- 
pany necessitated  larger  quarters  and  the  armory  immediately  became 
available. 

On  May  4,  1918,  after  reducing  the  size  of  the  company  to  the  re- 
quired strength  to  be  admitted  as  Reserve  Militia  Company,  it  was  sworn 
in,  and  became  known  as  "K"  Company,  6th  Regiment,  I.  R.  M.,  with 
the  following  officers  in  charge: 

Ludwig  L.  Schliecker Captain 

Charles  P.  Wright First  Lieutenant 

John  C.  Rayment Second  Lieutenant 

During  the  period  of  the  war,  officers  and  non-commissioned  officers 
assisted  in  training  the  draft  men  before  entrainment  to  camp;  did  police 
duty  at  the  request  of  the  Mayor;  acted  as  escort  with  the  G.  A.  R.  as 
drafted  men,  from  time  to  time,  were  sent  to  the  cantonments,  and  fur- 
nished firing  squads  over  the  graves  of  soldier  boys  whose  premature 
deaths  at  the  camps  had  cut  short  their  military  careers,  but  who  had 
stamped  themselves,  nevertheless,  as  true  heroes.  In  fact,  the  company 
became  a  necessary  and  useful  adjunct  in  many  ways  to  the  community

during  the  war  period.  Complete  uniforms  were  obtained  through  the 
combined  efforts  of  the  manufacturers,  merchants,  and  the  company, 
while  the  guns  were  furnished  by  the  State. 

Aurora's  military  history  would  not  be  complete  without  the  mention 
of  Captain  Charles  S.  Harkison,  whose  patriotism  and  loyalty  have  al- 
ways been  of  the  hundred  per-cent  brand.  Soon  after  his  return  and  re- 
lease from  his  duties  with  Uncle  Sam,  he  threw  himself  into  the  work  of 
the  Reserve  Militia,  and  the  State,  knowing  well  his  military  ability,  com- 
missioned him  Major  of  the  1st  Battalion,  6th  Regiment  of  the  Illinois 
Reserve  Militia,  which  includes  "K"  Company  of  this  city.  His  staff

MILO   M.  PIERCE 

FUEL  ADMINISTRATOR  FOR  AURORA  AND  THE 
HTH  ILLINOIS  FUEL  DISTRICT 


[356] 


Fuel  Administration  in  Aurora 

RESIDENTS  of  Aurora,  for  many  years  back,  can  hardly  remember 
a  harder  winter  than  was  experienced  in  this  vicinity  during  the 
years  1917  and  1918,  but  thanks  to  the  untiring  efforts  of  Milo 
M.  Pierce  and  his  assistants,  Lincoln  B.  Frazier  and  Earl  F.  Schoeber- 
lein  in  Aurora,  Robert  C.  Hollister  of  Batavia,  and  Oscar  Nelson  of 
Geneva,  little  suffering  was  experienced  from  the  want  of  fuel,  despite 
the  fact  that  many  localities  of  this  state  did  suffer  for  that  commodity. 

In  November,  1917,  the  national  administration,  realizing  that  the 
supply  of  fuel  would  be  short,  because  of  the  great  demand  made  to  sup- 
ply the  factories  and  war  munition  plants  of  all  kinds,  appointed  state  and 
district  fuel  administrators  for  the  purpose  of  conserving  fuel  to  the 
limit.  With  this  great  demand,  came  the  unusual  terriffic  winter,  with 
the  thermometer  hovering  close  to  the  zero  mark  for  weeks  at  a  time,  all 
of  which  made  the  task  of  the  local  administration  exceptionally  hard. 
Mr.  Pierce  took  charge  of  the  fuel  question  on  November  12th,  1917, 
and  immediately  issued  rules  governing  the  distribution  and  sales  of  fuel 
to  consumers,  fixing  a  maximum  gross  margin  of  profit  for  the  dealers, 
besides  governing  the  storage  and  use  of  all  fuels. 

So  acute  was  the  situation  at  times  that  "Lightless  Nights"  were  en- 
forced, in  some  instances  with  fines,  several  mercantile  and  numerous 
manufacturing  concerns  throughout  the  country  being  closed  in  order  that 
the  civilian  population  would  not  suffer  for  the  want  of  necessary  fuel. 

The  orders  of  the  fuel  administrator  were  in  most  cases  cheerfully 
carried  out,  as  was  the  request  of  the  officials  to  conserve  gasoline,  when 
99  per  cent  of  the  automobile  owners  of  this  city  obeyed  and  not  an  auto- 
mobile was  run  on  our  streets  on  the  several  Sundays  the  ban  was  in 
existence. 

It  is  the  proud  record  of  Fuel  Administrator  Pierce,  that  during  the 
trying  times  experienced  that  winter,  not  one  institution  was  closed  and 
not  a  single  home  was  abandoned  because  of  the  lack  of  fuel,  though  at 
times  the  situation  was  such  that  the  administrator  was  obliged  to  con- 
fiscate many  carloads  of  fuel  in  transit  through  the  city  for  other  points. 
This  result  was  attained  by  the  local  administration,  principally,  because, 
immediately  following  his  appointment,  he  made  a  careful  compilation  of 
the  amount  of  fuel  which  would  be  required  to  properly  take  care  of  each 
community  in  District  No.  11,  which  extended  from  Aurora,  north  to 
Geneva,  and  included  the  southern  townships  of  the  county.  In  this  way, 
his  splendid  organization  kept  the  situation  well  in  hand. 

In  June,  1918,  the  following  prices  and  regulations  were  issued  to  the 
dealers  of  the  district,  and,  as  a  result,  the  fuel  situation  in  the  winter  of 
1918  and  1919  was  carried  out  to  the  satisfaction  of  everyone  in  the 
district.

JOHN  T.  MASON 
FOOD  ADMINISTRATOR  OF  AURORA  AND  KANE  COUNTY 


[360] 


Food  Administration  in  Aurora 

PEOPLE  of  this  country,  in  general,  little  realize  the  important  work 
accomplished,  nor,  perhaps,  appreciate  the  work  of  the  local  Food 
Administration  throughout  the  trying  times  of  1917  and  1918,  but, 
nevertheless,  this  great  department  was  one  of  the  great  factors  in  win- 
ning the  war,  because  the  food  supplies  played  almost  as  vital  a  part  as 
munitions  to  the  allied  army  and  the  people  backing  the  boys. 

Early  in  the  war,  the  national  administration  realized  that  America 
must  conserve  its  food  in  a  way  never  before  experienced  in  this  coun- 
try, not  only  for  needed  supplies  for  the  fighting  forces,  but  to  assist  the 
foreign  population  with  food,  if  the  German  war  machine  was  to  be  de- 
stroyed. 

John  T.  Mason,  one  of  Aurora's  philanthropic  citizens,  was  recom- 
mended and  duly  appointed  County  Food  Administrator,  with  headquar- 
ters in  Aurora,  and  his  task  of  schooling  the  merchants  and  people  in  the 
art  and  necessity  of  food  conservation  was  one  of  the  hardest  and  most 
exacting  of  the  many  war  activities  in  this  city,  especially  so,  when  Mr. 
Hoover,  the  national  administrator,  ordered  substitutes  sold  in  equal 
quantities  with  wheat  flour. 

According  to  the  administrator,  some  merchants  were  slow  to  under- 
stand what  substitutes  were  to  be  used  with  sales  of  wheat  and  war-flour. 
Instances  were  cited  where  some  disposed  of  potatoes,  some  oats  in  bulk, 
while  one  sold  baled  hay  with  a  49-pound  sack  of  flour.  These  cases 
were  only  extreme  cases,  and  the  violators  were  soon  corrected  by  the 
food  administrator,  when  the  work  of  checking  up  with  the  dealer  com- 
menced, and  Mr.  Dealer  found  he  had  a  bulk  of  substitutes  on  his  hands 
unsold. 

Several  carloads  of  wheat  were  obtained  in  the  county  by  the  admin- 
istrator from  wheat  hoarders,  and  finally  the  administrator,  to  obtain  the 
full  amount  of  wheat  grown  in  the  county  for  consumption,  organized  the 
180  threshing  outfits.  By  means  of  this  organization,  working  in  close 
harmony  with  the  food  administrator,  all  the  grain  was  threshed  and 
then  rethreshed,  so  that  little  of  the  valuable  food  product  was  lost. 
While  primarily  this  county  is  a  dairy  district,  the  amount  of  grain  pro- 
duced and  furnished  was  no  small  amount,  as  will  be  noted  from  the  food 
administrator's  figures  for  1918: 

Rye    59,086  Bushels 

Wheat    1,000,000  Bushells 

Barley    1,004,933  Bushels 

Oats    2,276,926  Bushels 


Total    4,341,500  Bushels 


[361] 


While  the  flour  proposition  was  a  trial  for  the  administrator,  his  real 
trouble  was  the  sugar  proposition,  both  with  the  careless  grocer  and  the 
housewife,  unwilling  to  abide  with  the  rules  as  adopted  by  the  national  ad- 
ministration. Some  grocers  sold  sugar  to  every  one,  whether  a  customer 
or  not;  some  sold  to  people  in  100  pound  lots;  some  grocers  obtained 
1,000  pounds  of  sugar  when  they  were  entitled  to  only  100  pounds,  while 
an  instance  was  reported  where  the  grocer  obtained  2,500  pounds,  when 
his  supply  should  have  been  only  235  pounds.  However,  the  sugar  pro- 
position was  soon  regulated  by  the  administration,  which  went  so  far  as 
to  regulate  the  amount  of  sugar  to  the  cup  of  coffee  used. 

The  use  of  sugar  for  canning  was  a  hard  task  to  regulate  because  of 
the  fact  that  many  disregarded  the  rules,  and  many  unpatriotic  people,  by 
different  means,  obtained  somewhat  more  than  they  were  entitled  to.  This 
class  of  people  were  of  the  foreign  element  in  most  cases,  and  the  real 
American  housewife  faced  the  shortage  with  her  true  spirit,  making  the 
most  of  the  trying  situation  and  existed  on  the  allotment  of  two  pounds 
per  month  per  capita. 

During  his  administration,  Mr.  Mason  was  ably  assisted  in  this  city  by 
Frank  BeVier  and  the  members  of  the  State  Council  of  Defense,  together 
with  the  patriotic  people  of  the  community  who  realized  the  enormous 
task  on  his  hands  and  were  ready  and  willing  to  suffer  almost  anything  to 
make  the  victory  sure.

Steamship  "Aurora" 

IN  JUNE,  1918,  the  City  of  Aurora  was  honored  by  the  U.  S.  Shipping 
Board,  when  Mayor  James  E.  Harley  was  notified  by  Edward  Hur- 
ley of  that  Board  to  the  effect  that  a  new  steel  steamship  of  4000  ton 
capacity,  designated  as  Hull  No.  1005  and  under  construction  in  the  ship 
building  yards  of  Pusey  and  Jones  at  Wilmington,  Delaware,  would  be 
named  "Aurora"  in  honor  of  the  Queen  City  of  the  Fox  River  Valley. 

By  popular  vote,  conducted  by  the  Aurora  Theater  Company,  under 
instructions  from  the  mayor,  Miss  Agnes  Kirby,  sister  of  the  first  Aurora 
boy  to  fall  wounded,  and  cousin  of  the  first  Aurora  soldier  to  die  on  the 
fields  of  carnage  in  France,  was  selected  from  a  list  of  twenty-five  young 
ladies  of  this  city  to  act  as  sponsor  for  the  City  of  Aurora  at  the  launch- 
ing of  the  ship  in  the  Delaware  city. 

On  July  4,  1918,  at  10  a.  m.,  in  the  presence  of  25,000  people,  many 
of  whom  were  from  this  city,  as  Miss  Kirby  crashed  the  historic  bottle 
against  its  sides,  the  ship  "Aurora"  glided  gracefully  and  majestically 
down  the  runs  of  the  ship  yards  and  out  into  Delaware  Bay,  ready  for  the 
work  of  completion,  to  take  its  place  in  the  convoys  which  were  carrying 
troops  and  supplies  from  this  country  to  France.

Burlington  Railroad 

A   MONG    the    wonderful    accomplishments    achieved    by    the    Yan- 

r\     kees  in  the  great  war  was  the  record  established  by  the  "railroad 

boys"  of  the  nation,  not  only  in  the  number  of  enlistments,  but  by 

the  men  who  were  required  to  "stay  on  the  job"  and  handle  the  flood  of 

transportation  work  demanded  of  them. 

Few  railroads  can  equal,  and  none  can  excell,  the  magnificent  record 
established  by  the  efficient  organization  perfected  by  the  Burlington  Rail- 
road officials,  especially  on  the  Aurora  Division. 

This  division,  extending  from  Galesburg,  Streator  and  Savanna  to 
Chicago,  including  the  great  locomotive  and  car  shops  at  Aurora,  on  this 
gigantic  trunk  line,  handled  not  only  hundreds  of  thousands  of  soldiers 
and  sailors,  but  millions  of  tons  of  freight,  consisting  of  munitions,  coal, 
and  food  for  millions  of  people  other  than  the  military  and  naval  forces. 

Few  people  realize  the  enormous  responsibility,  which  for  many  months 
rested  upon  the  shoulders  of  a  few  men  living  in  Aurora,  but  they  were 
equal  to  the  occasion,  and  thanks  to  their  careful  attention,  hundreds  of 
thousands  of  men  were  carried  to  and  from  Camp  Grant  and  from  many 
western  camps  to  the  east  and  thousands  of  freight  trains  hustled  through 
the  city,  all  without  the  loss  of  life  or  destruction  by  wrecks,  and  gener- 
ally without  the  slightest  delay.  Never  in  the  history  of  railroading  on 
the  Burlington  were  there  so  few  wrecks,  none  of  which  could  be  regarded 
as  serious. 

While  an  excursion  train,  containing  troops  en  route  from  Camp  Grant 
to  a  celebration  in  Chicago,  was  wrecked,  with  the  loss  of  two  lives,  it 
was  the  proud  record  of  the  Burlington  employes  that  not  a  government 
train,  either  troop  or  freight,  was  wrecked  on  the  Aurora  Division. 

One  of  the  principal  tasks  in  railroad  work  is  the  handling  of  the  many 
trains  on  the  system,  and  great  credit  is  given  to  the  train  dispatching 
force  in  Aurora,  consisting  of  Frank  Curran,  Thomas  F.  O'Conner, 
George  Crawford,  J.  E.  Lies,  Jeremiah  O'Conner,  Charles  Jordan,  E.  T. 
Mahoney,  Walter  Hull,  F.  E.  Patelsky,  E.  W.  Montgomery  and  C.  E. 
Brown  for  the  excellent  record  attained  with  the  assistance  of  the  many 
careful  train  and  engine  crews. 

During  the  war,  the  Burlington  employes  serving  the  nation  in  the 
army,  navy  and  marines  numbered  5032  men,  many  of  whom,  through 
their  careful  attention,  work  and  bravery  attained  high  rank  in  the  forces 
to  which  they  were  attached. 

The  hundreds  of  men  and  women  employed  at  home  in  Aurora  on  the 
road  and  in  the  shops  and  offices  not  only  worked  at  high  speed,  but  a 
careful  survey  shows  that  all  patriotic  calls  for  funds,  including  Patriot's

Fund,  Thrift  and  Savings  Stamps,  the  Five  Liberty  Loans,  Red  Cross  and 
many  camp  funds,  met  with  a  hundred  per  cent  response  on  every  occa- 
sion.

U.  S.  Department  #/ Justice 

DURING  the  war,  probably  the  most  important  department  of  the 
U.  S.  Government  was  the  Department  of  Justice.  It  was. the 
task  of  the  officers  and  employes  of  this  department  to  uncover 
all  plots  against  the  government,  find  unpatriotic  citizens  and  punish  all 
violators  of  the  government  laws  throughout  the  land. 

In  this  department,  Aurora  played  a  most  prominent  part  with  Hon. 
Charles  F.  Clyne,  as  U.  S.  District  Attorney  for  the  Northern  District  of 
Illinois,  his  assistant  R.  A.  Milroy  and  Thomas  Smith,  Deputy  U.  S. 
Marshal  in  charge  of  all  the  prosecution  and  care  of  offenders  in  and 
about  Chicago  during  the  entire  war  period. 

During  the  war,  the  work  of  the  District  Attorney's  office  covered  a 
larger  number  of  cases  than  did  the  districts  of  Boston  and  New  York 
City  combined  and  included  three  of  the  most  important  cases  of  the 
United  States,  namely: 

The  case  of  the  United  States  vs.  William  Haywood,  et  al.,  usually 
known  as  the  I.  W.  W.  case  in  which  ninety-five  defendants  were  found 
guilty  of  a  conspiracy  to  violate  the  Espionage  Law,  and  were  given  sen- 
tences ranging  from  ten  days  to  twenty  years  imprisonment. 

In  the  case  of  the  United  States  vs.  Jacobson,  et  al.,  five  defendants 
were  convicted  of  conspiracy  to  violate  the  neutrality  laws  of  the  United 
States.  The  proof  showed  that  these  men  conspired  to  start  a  military 
expedition  in  the  United  States  for  the  purpose  of  fomenting  a  revolu- 
tion in  India. 

In  the  case  of  United  States  vs.  Victor  L.  Berger,  et  al.,  five  defend- 
ants were  charged  with  conspiracy  to  violate  the  Espionage  Law.  All  de- 
fendants were  convicted  and  each  was  sentenced  to  twenty  years  impris- 
onment. All  of  the  above  cases  are  still  under  review  by  the  District 
Court  of  Appeals  on  appeal  by  the  defendants. 

Officer  Smith  conveyed  many  prisoners  convicted  in  U.  S.  courts  to  the 
Federal  jails  for  confinement.

Internal  Revenue  Department 

FIVE  Hundred  Thousand  Dollars  is  the  approximate  amount  of 
money  collected  by  the  Internal  Revenue  Department  of  the  United 
States  in  Aurora  during  the  few  months  of  the  war,  under  the  three 
score  internal  tax  classifications  of  the  government. 

Early  in  1918  with  the  increased  number  of  revenue  enactments  of 
Congress  to  provide  the  necessary  money  for  the  carrying  on  of  the  gov- 
ernment and  war,  the  Commissioner  of  Internal  Revenue  designated  the 
counties  of  Kane,  DuPage,  DeKalb  and  Kendall  as  the  Eighth  Division 
of  the  First  District  of  Illinois,  with  headquarters  in  the  City  of  Aurora 
and  branch  offices  established  in  Wheaton,  Elgin,  Geneva,  DeKalb  and 
Sycamore. 

P.  F.  Fullmer,  General  Deputy  Collector  was  placed  in  charge  of  the 
District  with  Assistant  General  Deputy  A.  C.  Weingartner,  Corporation 
Income  Tax  Inspector,  H.  M.  Gillette,  H.  T.  McGrath,  W.  L.  Stanton 
and  George  W.  Larsen  as  assistants. 

Of  the  sixty-two  different  lines  of  taxes  assessed  by  the  government,  the 
Income  Tax,  Liquor  Tax  and  the  miscellaneous  taxes,  such  as  manufac- 
turers, soda,  admission  and  tobacco  taxes  were  the  most  prominent  in  this 
section. 

During  the  year  1918,  two  thousand  eight  hundred  fifty-three  persons 
in  the  City  of  Aurora  paid  income  taxes  to  the  amount  of  $300,000.00 
while  the  other  assessments  paid  by  Aurora  people  amounted  to  over 
$20,000.00  per  month. 

During  that  period  the  amount  of  revenue  derived  from  liquor  tax  in 
Aurora  amounted  to  $100,000.00,  while  the  13  cigar  manufacturers  of 
the  city  paid  thousands  of  dollars  to  the  government  on  their  commodities. 

Notwithstanding  the  hundreds  of  thousands  of  people  scattered 
throughout  the  district,  few  people  either  evaded  or  tried  to  evade  pay- 
merit  of  the  taxes  levied  by  the  government,  as  the  records  show  only  97 
delinquents  of  Income  tax  returns  being  compelled  to  show  Uncle  Sam,  for 
which  penalties  amounting  to  $10,000.00  were  assessed.

The  Public  Library's  Work 
in  the  World  War 


WHEN  the  American  Library  Association  began  to  get  busy  with  its 
campaign  to  supply  the  soldiers  and  sailors  of  the  United  States 
with  books  and  periodicals,  the  Aurora  Public  Library  performed 
a  modest  part  in  furthering  the  work. 

Appeals  to  the  people  went  forth,  asking  for  contributions.  These  met 
with  a  generous  response,  not  only  from  the  people  of  the  city,  but  from 
the  people  of  the  neighboring  towns  as  well.  About  500  volumes  were 
boxed  and  sent  to  various  camps. 

A  form  of  scrap  book  was  adopted  and  besides  the  work  on  scrap-books 
that  was  done  in  the  Library,  volunteers  were  called  upon  to  help.  In  all 
about  70  of  these  scrap-books  were  made  in  this  manner. 

When  the  Red  Cross  work  in  Aurora  was  well  organized,  and  the 
Woman's  Club  of  Aurora  began  to  actively  participate  therein,  the  as- 
sembly room  in  the  second  story  of  the  Library  building  was  thrown  open 
as  a  work  room.  It  was  a  busy  scene  for  many  months.  The  service  thus 
rendered  was  much  appreciated  and  was  duly  acknowledged  in  the  follow- 
ing note: 

THE  WOMAN'S  CLUB  OF  AURORA,  ILLINOIS 

MR.  W.  S.  BEAUPRE, 

President  Aurora  Public  Library. 

The  Board  of  Managers  of  the  Woman's  Club  of  Aurora  extends  thanks  to  the 
Board  members  and  all  employes  of  the  Aurora  Public  Library  for  their  co-operation 
in  the  Red  Cross  work  done  by  the  Woman's  Club  in  the  Library  rooms. 

Sincerely, 

MARY  G.  WORST, 

Corresponding  Secretary. 

Since  the  close  of  the  war,  the  use  of  the  same  room  in  the  Library 
building  has  been  granted  to  classes  of  maimed  soldiers  that  have  been 
conducted  by  Miss  Florence  E.  Watson,  a  Mooseheart  worker. 

What  the  American  Library  Association,  with  the  co-operation  of  the 
Public  Libraries,  throughout  the  country,  did  for  the  American  soldiers 
and  sailors,  was  an  essential  element  in  maintaining  the  morale  of  the  men 
whom  the  country  sent  forth  to  make  democracy  safe  throughout  the 
world.

Aurora  Factories 


WHAT  an  important  part  the  factories  of  Aurora  played  in  the  win- 
ning of  the  war  will  probably  never  be  known,  but  it  is  a  fact  that 
few  cities  of  the  United  States  the  size  of  Aurora  surpassed  the 
amount  of  war  supplies  turned  out  by  the  manufacturing  institutions  of 
this  city. 

Despite  the  great  number  of  men  who  entered  the  service,  at  times 
crippling  the  working  forces  of  a  number  of  the  factories,  efficient  organ- 
izations with  patriotic  employes  continued  to  turn  out  the  supplies  which 
were  needed  by  the  "boys." 

At  the  time  of  the  signing  of  the  armistice,  practically  every  factory 
in  Aurora  was  pushing  to  the  capacity  on  war  work. 

Among  the  leading  institutions  engaged  in  war  work  were  the 


Allsteelequip  Co. 
American  Well  Works  Co. 
American  Wood  Work.  Mchy.  Co. 
Aurora  Bleachery  &  Dye  Works 
Aurora  Cooperage  Co. 
Aurora  Cotton  Mills 
Aurora  Foundry  Co. 
Aurora  Metal  Co. 
Miller,  Bryant  Pierce  Co. 
Love  Bros,  Inc. 
Rathbone,  Sard  &  Co. 
Johnson  Ideal  Halter  Co. 
C.  C.  Hinckley 


Wm.  F.  Jobbins,  Inc. 
Richard  Wilcox  Co. 
Stephens  Adamson  Mfg.  Co. 
Western  Wheeled  Scraper  Co.

FRANK  RADUENZ 
U.  S.  EMPLOYMENT  AGENT  IN  AURORA 


[372] 


U.  S.  Employment  Bureau 

ONE  of  the  main  factors  in  the  acceleration  of  war  work  and  the 
backing  up  of  the  boys  in  the  camps  and  trenches  was  the  United 
States  Employment  Service  office,  located  in  the  post  office  build- 
ing.    This  office  was  established  in  April,   1918,  with  Frank  Raduenz  in 
charge,   and  Miss   Margaret   McEnroe   and   C.   H.   Starry  as  his   assist- 
ants, and  since  its  inception,  they  have  directed  over  ten  thousand  men 
and  women  to  work,  of  whom  about  eight  thousand  placements  have  been 
reported. 

During  the  war,  workers  of  all  descriptions,  male  and  female,  were 
directed  from  non-essential  to  essential  work.  The  greatest  number  of 
these  in  Aurora  were  directed  to  rnetal  shops,  doing  government  work, 
and  to  farms  for  the  production  of  food.  The  co-operation  of  this  office 
with  the  local  exemption  board  and  the  assistance  it  received  in  publicity 
work  from  newspapers  made  these  endeavors  highly  successful. 

While  most  cities  had  their  population  depleted  during  the  war,  Au- 
rora increased  its  population  in  this  period,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that 
over  thirty-six  hundred  men  entered  the  military  and  naval  service. 

After  the  signing  of  the  armistice,  this  office  had  to  perform  yeoman 
service  in  placing  war  workers  back  into  normal  pursuits.  The  office  was 
in  touch  with  over  five  thousand  soldiers  and  sailors  returning  from 
camps,  and  advised  them  as  to  the  proper  courses  to  pursue  for  finding 
employment.  About  a  thousand  of  the  returning  soldiers  and  sailors  had 
to  be  redirected  to  new  positions  for  various  reasons. 

Federal  funds  for  this  office  were  discontinued  March  22,  1919,  but 
community  interests  supplied  the  funds  to  continue  the  office  beyond  July 
1,  1919.  The  popularity  of  the  department  and  its  work  constituted  the 
main  reason  for  the  Illinois  State  Labor  officials  and  Governor  Frank  O. 
Lowden  establishing  an  Illinois  Free  Employment  office  in  Aurora. 

This  office  which  is  now  a  permanent  institution  and  which  at  present 
co-operates  with  the  federal  employment  service  in  Washington,  D.  C., 
continues  placing  the  unemployed  and  returning  soldiers,  sailors  and  mar- 
ines to  work.  Frank  Raduenz  who  was  in  charge  of  the  U.  S.  Employ- 
ment Service  office  was  appointed  superintendent  by  Governor  Frank  O. 
Lowden.  Henry  J.  Smith,  a  returned  overseas  soldier,  was  appointed  as- 
sistant superintendent.  Mrs.  Josephine  S.  Harkins,  an  Aurora  woman, 
but  who  during  the  war  served  with  the  New  Mexico  state  draft  board  and 
later  with  the  federal  employment  service  at  Santa  Fe,  was  appointed  offi- 
cial stenographer  and  detailed  in  charge  of  the  directing  of  women  and 
girls  to  employment.

SIGNING  OF  THE  ARMISTICE   ABOUT  AURORA 


ONE  OF  THE  MANY  TRUCK  LOADS  OF  AURORA  GIRLS  AND  BOYS 
CELEBRATING  ON  ARMISTICE  DAY 


[374] 


Armistice  Days 


SHORTLY  after  2  o'clock  Thursday  afternoon,  November  7,   1918, 
came  the  false  report  from  the  United  Press  at  Paris  that  an  armi- 
stice had  been  signed.     Aurora  like  every  city  in  the  United  States 
was,  like  a  flash,  in  one  wild  and  hysterical  clamor;  shops  shut  down; 
employes  and  citizens  paraded  the   city;   bells  rang   and  whistles  blew; 
men,  women  and  children  cried  with  joy,  and  joy  was  unrestrained  for 
many  hours,  even  after  the  official  report  denying  the  news  had  been  for- 
warded from  Washington.     Never  before  was  such  a  scene  witnessed  in 
this  city  or  possibly  in  the  country. 

MONDAY,  Nov.   11,   1918 

Five  minutes  after  1  o'clock  Monday  morning,  November  11,  1918, 
the  official  report  of  the  signing  of  the  armistice  which  ended  the  World's 
greatest  war  flashed  into  this  city.  Instantly  factory,  shop  and  engine 
whistles  heralded  the  news  to  the  slumbering  people  and  almost  as  instantly 
every  man,  woman  and  child  was  out  of  bed  to  participate  in  the  most 
glorious  day  of  this  generation.  From  that  hour  until  long  into  the  next 
night  the  people  celebrated  the  glorious  victory  over  the  Imperial  Ger- 
man forces.  No  tongue  can  tell  or  pen  describe  the  scenes  of  joy  dis- 
played in  this  city  from  which  3600  of  its  truest  and  bravest  sons  and 
daughters  had  gone  out  to  battle  the  enemies  of  freedom  on  foreign  lands 
and  sea.  Saloons  of  Aurora  were  closed  by  the  Mayor  and  a  free,  unre- 
strained celebration  was  indulged  in  by  old  and  young;  parades  marched 
up  and  down  the  streets;  effigies  of  every  description  were  devised  and 
"Old  Glory"  was  everywhere  in  evidence  amid  the  noise  and  clamor  from 
every  conceivable  noise-making  instrument  obtainable.  The  pride,  pat- 
riotism and  victory  touched  all  hearts  and  never  before  did  the  wonder- 
ful words  of  "The  Star  Spangled  Banner"  sound  so  stirring  and  so  full  of 
meaning. 


[375] 


Aurora  Bachelor  Club 


AT  the  opening  of  the  war  in  April,  1917,  the  Aurora  Bachelor  Club 
had  fifty-one  members,  of  which  forty-one  entered  the  service  of. 
Uncle  Sam,  the  remainder  being  barred  from  military  service  by 
reason   of  physical   rejections,   industrial  and   dependency  causes,   a   most 
striking  example  of  how  Aurora's  sons  flocked  to  the  colors. 

The  above  photo  was  taken  of  the  club  boys  who  had  returned  from 
service  and  who  attended  the  "Home  Coming"  at  Phillip's  Park  on  Sept. 
24,  1919.  They  are,  top  row,  reading  from  left  to  right,  Bert  Coster,

Home  Coming 


PRACTICALLY  all  the  soldiers,  marines  and  sailors  having  returned 
home  from  service,  September  24,   1919,  was  designated  as  the  day 
for  Aurora's  official  home  coming  celebration  to  its  brave.     A  more 
beautiful  autumnal  day  could  not  have  been  wished  for  by  the  thousands 
who  entered  into  the  occasion  to  pay  homage  to  the  defenders  of  the  flag. 

Forming  in  line  at  Lincoln  Park  at  10  o'clock  that  morning  2,000  sol- 
diers, sailors,  marines,  nurses,  Red  Cross  workers,  "Y"  and  K.  of  C. 
workers,  many  of  whom  had  faced  and  defeated  the  grandest  of  the 
Kaiser's  best  regiments  with  cold  steel,  many  with  healed  and  unhealed 
wounds,  many  who  had  been  decorated  for  valor  on  the  field  of  carnage 
and  many  more  who  deserved,  but  had  not  had  the  coveted  honors  be- 
stowed upon  them,  men  representing  not  only  every  division  in  the  war, 
but  every  branch  of  service  used  to  bring  about  the  successful  termination 
of  the  conflict,  marched,  as  only  soldiers  of  a  righteous  cause  could,  through 
the  streets  of  dear  "Old  Aurora." 

With  swinging  step  they  moved  amidst  the  cheering  populace  increased 
by  thousands  from  surrounding  towns,  to  receive  the  ovation  justly  given  to 
the  heroes  of  the  World's  greatest  conflict. 

Never  will  Aurora  witness  such  an  inspiring  scene  as  the  parade  of  these 
young  heroes,  presented  to  the  citizens  of  this  community  on  that  day. 

Following  the  parade  the  marchers  were  taken  to  Phillips  Park  by  auto, 
there  to  enjoy  the  real  old  fashioned  chicken  dinner  prepared  by  the 
women  of  the  Red  Cross  organization  under  the  leadership  of  Mrs.  Grace 
Bliss.  Seated  at  125  tables  placed  in  fan  shape  through  that  beautiful 
woodland,  2,500  men  and  women,  the  largest  crowd  to  be  dined  at  one 
time  in  Aurora,  enjoyed  to  their  heart's  content  the  following  menu: 

Fried  Chicken  Home  Made  Bread 

Creamery  Butter          Jelly  Pickles 
Mashed  Potatoes  Cabbage  Salad 

Hot  Rolls 

Jam  Ice  Cream  Cake 

Coffee 

A  most  beautiful  feature  of  the  day  were  the  memorial  exercises  given 
in  the  memory  of  the  86  soldiers  and  sailors  who  gave  up  their  lives  de- 
fending the  flag.  Just  as  the  sun  was  setting  in  the  west,  thousands  with 
uncovered  heads  bowed  in  silent  prayer,  listened  to  the  shrill  notes  of 
"Taps"  resounding  through  the  woodland,  and  then  witnessed  the  unveil- 
ing of  the  service  flag  adorned  with  86  gold  stars  designating  Aurora's 
boys,  never  to  return.

THE  GREAT  WORLD  WAR 


AN  ILLUSTRATED  REVIEW 


m 


HEN  the  World  War  ended  on  November  llth,  1918,  the  armed  forces  of 
25  nations  of  the  globe  had  been  hurling  their  armies  against  each  other  for 
more  than  four  years  in  the  most  colossal  struggle  of  history.  After  a  con- 
flict without  parallel,  it  ended  in  its  52d  month  \vith  a  casualty  total  nearing 
the  ten  million  mark. 


Set  off  by  the  murder  of  an  ordinary  Austrian  archduke  on  June  28th,  1914,  by  a 
Serbian  political  fanatic,  the  conflagration  which  had  threatened  the  peace  of  Europe 
for  decades  was  thus  destined  to  embroil  the  leading  powers  of  the  world  in  the  most 
costly  and  bloody  strife  known  to  man. 

After  a  month's  diplomatic  argument  over  the  affair,  Austria  formally  opened  hostili- 
ties with  her  declaration  of  war  on  Serbia.  General  mobilization  followed  quickly  in 
Russia;  a  "state  of  war"  was  almost  immediately  declared  in  Germany.  Then  on  August 
1st  Germany  declared  war  on  Russia,  following  this  with  an  ultimatum  to  Belgium 
demanding  that  her  troops  be  given  free  passage  across  that  country.  On  August  3d,  the 
Teutons  included  France  on  their  list  of  enemies.  This  was  followed  next  day  by  an 
ultimatum  to  Germany  from  Great  Britain  demanding  that  the  neutrality  of  Belgium 
be  respected.  When  this  assurance  was  not  granted  by  Emperor  Wilhelm,  Great  Britain

declared  war  on  Germany.    A  quick  succession  of  war  declarations  finally  involved  the 
greater  share  of  Europe  by  the  end  of  the  summer. 

Mad  with  the  ruthless  spirit  of  conquest  the  Central  Powers  marched  their  armies  off 
to  war  in  grand  fashion,  boasting  that  they  would  return  by  Christmas  time,  the  con- 
querers  of  Europe.  Their  amazing  preparations  for  the  dream  of  world  power  almost 
brought  within  their  grasp  the  greedy  ambition  of  the  Junkers. 

The  initial  successes  of  the  German  army  in  its  advance  through  Belgium  and  on  to- 
ward Paris  astounded  the  world.  England  and  France  reeled  and  staggered  before  the 
terrific  onslaught  ol  the  famous  Prussian  Guards  and  the  other  crack  armies  of  the  Central 
Powers.  Swept  off  her  feet  almost  by  the  spectacular  aggression  of  the  enemy,  the  fate  of 
France  virtually  hung  from  a  thread  as  the  invaders  triumphantly  swept  on  and  on. 

Early  in  September,  when  they  were  practically  within  reach  of  Paris,  the  tide  was 
turned  against  them  in  the  battle  of  the  Marne,  September  6-10.  French  themselves 
attribute  their  good  fortune  at  this  point  to  the  hand  of  the  Almighty  rather  than  to 
their  superior  military  strength  at  the  time.  This  marked  the  enemy's  point  of  farthest 
advance. 

The  atrocities  of  the  advancing  Huns  during  the  months  of  their  early  triumphs  and 
conquest  have  been  called  infamous  by  conservative  journalists  and  correspondents. 
Suffice  to  say,  their  bloodthirsty  ambition  to  rule  and  conquer  the  world  knew  no  bounds, 
and  that  their  acts  and  deeds  of  disgrace  will  forever  remain  one  of  the  darkest  of  the 
many  blotches  brought  on  the  German  people  during  the  European  war. 

Believing  that  the  United  States  had  no  part  to  play  in  the  war  at  that  time,  President 
Woodrow  Wilson,  on  August  4th,  1914,  officially  proclaimed  the  neutrality  of  the  United 
States.  The  war  was  thus  confined  to  Europe  for  many  months,  a  struggle  mainly 
between  the  two  great  European  Alliances — the  Triple  Alliance  composing  Germany, 
Austria  Hungary  and  Italy,  against  the  Triple  Entente,  composing  England,  Russia  and

France.  Italy,  originally  a  member  of  the  Triple  Alliance,  but  later  one  of  the  chiei 
powers  of  the  Allies,  did  not  enter  the  war  until  1915.  She  then  declared  war  on  all  of 
Germany's  Allies,  but  did  not  break  with  Germany  herself  until  late  in  1916.  Before 
the  war  she  was  a  member  of  the  Triple  Alliance  with  Germany  and  Austria  but  severed 
this  connection  to  fight  with  the  Allies. 

After  the  marvelous  advances  of  the  first  year,  the  great  battle  line  in  Europe  re- 
mained practically  stationary  for  nearly  three  years  and  extended  over  more  than  300 
miles.  The  large  armies  of  each  force  fought  doggedly,  suffered  heroically  and  died 
willingly,  in  a  mighty  death-grip  whose  battles  surpassed  the  most  famous  of  previous 
wars  for  loss  of  life  and  destruction  of  property. 

The  superb  Armies  of  the  Russians  in  the  Eastern  theater  kept  the  attention  of  a 
large  German  force  occupied  and  away  from  the  Western  Front.  This  fact  aided  the 
Allies  tremendously  and  probably  prevented  a  German  Peace  in  the  second  and  third 
years  of  the  War. 

It  was  while  France,  England  and  Italy  were  staggering  before  the  last  big  offensive 
of  the  enemy  early  in  1918  that  America's  force  was  thrown  into  the  balance  in  sub- 
stantial numbers. 

Her  declaration  of  war  against  Germany  on  April  6th,  1917,  grew  out  of  the  Central 
Powers'  failure  to  recognize  the  rights  of  neutrals  on  the  high  seas.  Repeatedly  the 
rights  of  the  United  States  were  violated,  and  just  as  repeatedly  Germany  refused  to 
discontinue  her  ruthless  program  of  submarine  warfare  against  the  world.  The  sinking 
of  the  Lusitania  on  May  7th,  1915,  without  warning  and  with  the  loss  of  1154  lives,  114 
of  whom  were  Americans,  was  regarded  by  a  great  many  as  just  cause  for  a  declaration 
of  war  against  Germany.  The  President  and  Congress  believing  differently,  failed  to 
act,  and  it  was  not  until  more  sinkings  of  women  and  children  that  the  United  States 
decided  to  step  into  the  breach  herself.

Regarded  as  a  mere  "bluff"  by  her  adversaries,  the  United  States'  entrance  appar- 
ently failed  to  cause  undue  anxiety  in  Berlin.  With  an  unprepared  democracy  for  another 
enemy  in  which  a  great  many  were  believed  to  have  been  opposed  to  war,  Germany  had 
little  cause  for  worry,  she  declared. 

But  America  went  to  work.  The  act  produced  an  electrical  effect  on  her  people  and 
almost  instantly  united  her  various  factions,  creeds,  parties,  and  nationalities  for  one 
purpose — to  crush  Germany  and  her  Allies.  She  became  a  workshop,  with  no  hours,  in 
her  determination  to  end  the  European  fight  victoriously,  and  thus  save  democracy  for 
the  world.  Every  effort  was  bended  to  the  cause,  every  penny  of  wealth  was  eagerly 
held  ready  for  the  call,  and  every  atom  of  energy  was  expended  in  her  feverish  haste  to 
redeem  mankind. 

I  ler  sons  by  the  hundreds  of  thousands  rushed  to  the  colors,  as  their  fathers  did  in 
the  wars  of  their  day,  to  see  another  victory  added  to  the  flag  which  had  never  known 
defeat.  That  the  distribution  of  soldiers  throughout  the  land  might  be  as  nearly  equit- 
able as  possible,  Congress  passed  the  Selective  Service  Act  in  May,  1918,  the  greatest 
mobilization  machinery  developed  by  any  of  the  25  nations  at  war. 

Naturally  there  were  obstacles  and  delays.  A  nation's  task  in  rising  up  over  night 
to  send  a  formidable  force  three  thousand  miles  overseas  to  fight  for  world  freedom  is 
not  the  kind  that  can  be  accomplished  without  some  disorder  and  delay.  But  loyalty 
and  union  did  it,  and  on  June  26th,  1917,  only  two  months  after  the  declaration  of  war, 
the  first  American  doughboy  landed  on  French  soil.  On  November  3d,  1917,  the  Yanks 
had  their  first  clash  with  the  Germans.  On  January  31st,  1918,  a  report  reached  America 
that  American  infantrymen  were  occupying  first  line  trenches  for  the  first  time.

By  this  time  the  United  States  had  declared  a  state  of  war  existing  with  Austria 
Hungary,  Germany's  chief  ally,  and  had  swung  her  domestic  machinery  into  the  greatest 
war  machine  conceivable.  She  had  begun  to  raise  by  popular  bond  subscriptions  billions 
of  dollars  to  supply  guns  and  munitions,  and  food  and  clothes,  for  the  boys  who  were 
going  over  to  France  to  do  the  job. 

Four  Liberty  Loans  were  floated  during  the  war,  and  the  total  subscriptions  to  these 
amounted  to  between  eighteen  and  nineteen  billions  of  dollars.  This  amount  was  taken 
by  more  than  50  million  subscribers,  and  was  to  be  only  an  insignificant  factor  in  the 
financing  of  the  war,  according  to  the  Treasury  Department.  This  cost  when  compared 
with  the  total  cost  of  the  Civil  War  for  four  years — approximately  $4,000,000,000 — is 
proof  enough  that  the  World  War  was  not  comparable  with  any  previous  war  in  history. 
In  April,  1919,  following  the  armistice,  another  Fifth  or  Victory  Loan  of  approximately 
the  same  dimensions  as  the  Fourth,  was  floated.  The  wonderfully  prompt  and  generous 
response  of  the  nation  to  each  of  the  calls  of  the  Liberty  Loans  was  one  of  the  greatest 
sources  of  inspiration  for  the  men  in  uniform  who  had  gone  to  fight  for  those  at  home. 
The  same  patriotic  generosity  that  marked  the  success  of  the  Liberty  Loan  was  evident 
in  each  of  the  scores  of  war  work  drives  that  were  conducted  for  the  various  relief  and 
welfare  organizations. 

Food  conservation — conservation  of  man-power,  the  work  or  fight  order,  the  noble,, 
work  of  the  women  who  sewed  and  knitted  night  and  day  for  the  Red  Cross  and  the  boys, 
the  curtailment  of  profits  a'nd  the  simple  economy  was  practiced  by  rich  and  poor 
alike,  were  but  a  few  of  the  many  war  time  measures  that  characterized  the  life  of  Amer- 
ica's hundred  and  some  million  during  the  year  and  a  half  during  which  she  was  at  war. 
No  history  of  that  war  will  ever  have  room  for  a  just  story  of  the  part  played  by  the  loyal 
home  folks — those  who  waited  and  prayed,  and  worked  and  gave,  to  keep  the  home  fires 
burning.

Foremost  among  the  initial  problems  of  America,  alter  preliminary  plans  for  the 
raising  of  her  army  had  been  laid,  was  the  problem  of  transporting  them  to  France,  so 
that  their  strength  might  be  thrown  against  the  Hun  on  the  battlefield.  Shipping  was 
not  available,  and  even  though  it  was  being  increased  at  maximum  capacity,  still  there 
was  not  more  than  half  as  much  as  was  needed  to  transport  the  men  in  the  numbers  they 
were  being  trained  and  in  the  numbers  they  were  needed  by  France  and  England  and 
Italy. 

England  gladly  placed  her  available  shipping  at  the  disposal  of  the  United  States, 
and  before  the  war  had  ended  she  had  carried  more  than  one  million  Yanks  to  the  side 
of  her  own  men  and  those  of  the  French,  or  nearly  half  of  those  who  had»gone  overseas. 
The  importance  of  the  United  States  Navy  in  the  war  can  hardly  be  exaggerated.  Within 
less  than  a  month  after  hostilities  were  declared,  she  had  sent  a  detachment  of  destroyers 
to  European  waters.  By  October,  1918,  there  were  338  ships  of  all  classes  flying  the 
American  flag  in  foreign  waters.  The  operations  of  the  Navy  during  the  war  covered 
the  widest  scope  in  its  history.  They  operated  in  European  waters  from  the  Mediter- 
ranean to  the  White  Sea.  At  Corfu,  Gibraltar,  in  the  Bay  of  Biscay,  on  the  Irish  Coast, 
at  the  English  Channel  ports,  in  the  North  Sea  and  at  Archangel,  they  did  creditable 
work.  This  service  was  not  as  brilliant  perhaps  as  that  of  the  army,  because  the  nature 
of  its  vital  work  kept  it  from  the  front.  Even  though  its  activities  were  probably  less 
glorious,  still  they  were  none  the  less  important  and  necessary  to  the  cause. 

Naval  men  served  on  nearly  2000  craft  that  plied  the  waters  of  the  globe,  on  sub- 
marines that  had  no  fear  of  the  under-sea  perils,  and  in  aviation  where  men  of  courage 
fought  and  prevented  surprise  attacks  with  new-found  weapons.

American  Doughboys  Shown  Taking  Another  Hill  After  the  Usual  Spectacular  Dash  Over  the  Top. 

In  diplomacy,  in  investigation  at  home  and  in  all  parts  of  the  world  by  naval  officers 
and  civilian  agents,  in  protecting  industry  from  enemy  spies,  in  promoting  new  industries 
and  enlarging  older  ones  to  meet  war-time  needs — these  are  a  few  of  the  accomplish- 
ments that  are  outstanding  in  the  part  played  by  the  Navy  in  winning  the  war. 

Shortly  after  the  declaration  of  war,  the  submarine  problem  had  become  so  acute 
and  the  merchant  ship  losses  so  great,  it  became  necessary  to  adopt  more  effective  methods 
in  dealing  with  the  problem  and  making  shipping  safer.  The  system  of  convoy  was 
adopted  at  the  suggestion  of  President  Wilson.  This,  although  it  slowed  up  shipping 
by  fully  twenty  percent,  enabled  a  comparatively  safe  passage  of  troops  and  was  probably 
the  greatest  stroke  of  the  Navy  during  the  war. 

During  all  the  time  the  United  States  was  engaged  in  the  war  the  enemy's  naval 
forces,  with  the  exception  of  the  submarines,  were  blockaded  in  his  ports.  This,  of  course, 
prevented  naval  engagements  of  a  major  character.  The  destroyers,  submarine  chasers 
and  patrol  vessels,  however,  waged  an  unceasing  offensive  against  the  submarine  menace 
to  shipping  and  troop  convoy,  and  only  three  vessels  were  sunk.  These  were  the  Antilles, 
the  President  Lincoln  and  the  Covington.  Each  was  struck  on  her  return  voyage,  so 
that  the  loss  of  life  was  comparatively  small.  Only  three  fighting  vessels  were  lost  as 
the  result  of  enemy  action — a  patrol  ship,  a  torpedo  boat  destroyer  and  a  cruiser.  The 
other  transports  and  destroyers  struck  by  the  enemy  during  the  war  reached  port  without 
loss  of  life.  Other  Transports  carrying  United  States  soldiers  went  down  but  these 
were  being  convoyed  by  the  British  Admiralty.  Chief  amcng  these  was  the  Tuscania, 
sunk  off  the  Coast  of  Ireland  February  5th,  1918,  with  a  less  of  110  lives. 

The  most  serious  loss  of  life  in  the  navy  as  a  result  of  its  war-time  activity  resulted 
when  111  officers  and  men  of  the  Coast  Guard  cutter  Tampa  perished  when  their  vessel 
was  sunk  in  Bristol  Channel,  England,  in  September,  1918.  The  Tampa  had  been  doing 
escort  duty  in  the  transport  service.  It  had  gone  ahead  of  the  convoy  and  was  sunk 
soon  after  leaving  the  party.

With  its  record  of  phenomenal  transport  service  in  protecting  troops  and  shipping 
against  the  enemy  submarine  offensive;  its  splendid  co-operation  with  the  British  Fleet 
in  keeping  the  German  navy  in  port  and  Germany  herself  blockaded;  its  stellar  work 
with  the  giant  14  inch  long  range  guns  at  the  front;  and  its  subsequent  spectacular  feat 
in  first  bridging  the  Atlantic  by  air,  the  United  States  Navy  had  a  share  in  the  World 
War  which  although  as  previously  stated  is  seldom  characterized  as  brilliantly  as  that 
of  the  Army  and  Marines,  still  was  equally  important  and  essential  in  keeping  the  war 
wheels  turning  victoriously. 

The  story  of  the  activities  of  America's  two  million  doughboys  and  marines  in  France 
is  one  which  should  be  told  in  volumes  rather  than  in  paragraphs.  From  the  time  of 
their  first  clash  with  the  Germans  on  November  3d,  1917,  until  they  "let  go"  the  last 
unwelcome  guests  against  Fritz's  lines  early  November  llth,  1918 — their  deeds  are  a 
succession  of  courageous  and  brilliant  performances  of  duty. 

"When  I  think  of  their  heroism,  their  patience  under  hardships,  and  their  unflinching 
spirit  of  offensive  action,  I  am  filled  with  emotion  which  I  am  unable  to  express,"  General

John  J.  Pershing  declared  in  commending  the  officers  and  soldiers  of  the  line  of  the 
American  Army.  "Their  deeds  are  immortal,  and  they  have  earned  the  eternal  gratitude 
of  our  country." 

This  simple  tribute  to  the  brave  American  lads  who  fought  and  died  in  France  is 
indicative  of  America's  reverence  for  her  heroic  aimies.  Their  glory  and  fame  will 
always  live  by  the  side  of  the  deeds  of  their  forbears  in  previous  wars. 

In  May,  1917,  shortly  after  war  was  declared,  General  Pershing,  well-known  for  his 
punitive  expedition  into  Mexico,  was  selected  by  the  War  Department  to  command  the 
American  Expeditionary  Forces  that  were  to  go  to  France.  After  gathering  about  him 
a  small  staff  the  General  set  sail.  His  reception  in  both  England  and  France  was  only 
equalled  by  the  readiness  of  the  commanders  of  both  armies  to  co-operate  with  the 
United  States  in  the  prosecution  of  the  war,  according  to  the  General's  own  report. 

His  general  staff  was  organized  in  a  short  time  and  detailed  plans  worked  out  for  the 
organization  and  training  of  the  millions  of  American  soldiers  who  were  expected  in 
France  to  help  finish  the  Hun.  Training  areas,  designed  to  give  the  final  seasoning  to 
fresh  troops  arriving  from  the  States  before  their  entry  into  the  front  lines,  and  officers 
schools  for  the  various  arms  of  the  service  were  established. 

Extensive  construction  provided  vast  warehouses,  supply  depots,  munition  store- 
houses, and  the  like  for  the  huge  task  ahead.  Although  France  offered  much  in  the  way 
of  both  ordnance  and  quartermaster  property  for  use  by  the  American  Army,  still 
enormous  quantities  of  materials  of  all  kinds  had  to  be  brought  across  the  Atlantic. 

Flocking  into  the  Army  from  civil  life  were  thousands  of  professional  and  business 
men  with  splendid  talent  along  the  lines  needed  to  build  up  this  immense  service  of 
supply  that  was  to  keep  the  A.  E.  F.  in  action.  To  meet  the  shortage  of  supplies  due  to 
lack  of  shipping,  representatives  of  the  various  supply  departments  were  constantly 
in  search  of  supplies  and  materials  in  Europe.  A  general  purchasing  agency  was  pro-

vided,  in  order  to  better  co-ordinate  the  purchasing  and  to  prevent  competition  between 
departments  of  the  army.  So  successful  was  this  system  in  the  American  Army  that 
it  was  almost  universally  adopted  by  the  armies  of  the  Allies  before  the  war  had  ended. 

"Our  entry  into  the  war  found  us  with  few  of  the  auxiliaries  necessary  for  its  conduct 
in  the  modern  sense,"  General  Pershing  declared  in  his  official  report.  "Among  our 
most  importent  deficiencies  in  material  were  artillery,  aviation  and  tanks.  In  order  to 
meet  our  requirements  as  quickly  as  possible  we  accepted  the  offer  of  the  French  Govern- 
ment to  provide  us  from  their  own  factories  with  the  necessary  artillery  equipment  for 
thirty  divisions.  In  aviation  we  were  in  the  same  situation  and  here  again  the  French 
Government  came  to  our  aid  until  we  were  able  to  get  our  own  air  service  program 
underway.  The  necessary  planes  to  train  the  air  service  personnel  were  provided  and 
we  secured  from  the  French  a  total  of  2676  pursuit,  bombing  and  observation  planes. 
The  first  planes  to  arrive  from  America  came  in  May,  1918,  and  a  total  of  1379  were 
received  during  the  war.  The  first  American  squadron  completely  equipped  by  American 
production,  including  airplanes,  crossed  the  German  lines  on  August  7th,  1918.  For  tanks 
we  also  were  compelled  to  rely  upon  the  French.  We  were  less  fortunate  here,  however, 
for  the  reason  that  the  French  were  scarcely  able  to  meet  their  own  production  require- 
ments in  this  respect.  It  should  be  remembered  by  every  American  that  the  French 
Government  always  took  a  most  liberal  attitute  in  endeavoring  to  supply  the  shortages 
existing  in  the  American  Army." 

Speaking  of  the  soldiers  in  Europe  General  Pershing  outlines  with  words  of  praise 
the  work  done  by  the  various  welfare  organizations  and  of  the  responsive  attitude  found 
among  the  soldiers  by  these  organizations. 

"The  welfare  of  the  troops  touches  my  responsibility  as  Commander-in-Chief  to  the 
mothers  and  fathers  and  kindred  of  the  men  who  went  to  France  in  the  impressionable 
period  of  youth.  They  could  not  have  the  privilege  accorded  the  soldiers  of  Europe

during  their  leaves  of  visiting  their  relatives  and  renewing  their  home  ties.  Fully  realizing 
that  the  standard  of  conduct  that  should  be  established  for  them  must  have  a  perma- 
nent influence  on  their  lives  and  the  character  of  their  future  citizenship,  the  Red  Cross, 
the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  the  Knights  of  Columbus,  the  Salvation  Army 
and  the  Jewish  Welfare  Board,  as  auxiliaries  in  this  work,  were  encouraged  in  every 
manner  possible.  The  fact  that  our  soldiers,  in  a  land  of  different  customs  and  language, 
have  borne  themselves  in  a  manner  in  keeping  with  the  cause  for  which  they  fought,  is 
due  not  only  to  the  efforts  in  their  behalf,  but  much  more  to  other  high  ideals,  their 
discipline,  and  their  innate  sense  of  self-respect.  It  should  be  recorded,  however,  that 
the  members  of  these  welfare  societies  have  been  untiring  in  their  desire  to  be  of  real 
service  to  our  officers  and  men.  The  patriotic  devotion  of  these  representative  men 
and  women  has  given  a  new  significance  to  the  Golden  Rule,  and  we  owe  to  them  a  debt 
of  gratitude  that  can  never  be  entirely  repaid."

The  First  Division  of  the  American  Army,  after  finishing  its  preliminary  training 
behind  the  lines,  went  to  the  trenches  for  the  first  time  in  October,  1917,  as  the  first 
contribution  to  the  fighting  forces  of  the  Allies.  By  the  time  that  the  great  German 
offensive  in  Picardy  began,  on  March  21st,  1918,  the  American  army  had  four  experienced 
divisions  in  the  line.  The  great  crisis  that  this  drive  developed,  however,  made  it  im- 
possible for  the  Americans  to  take  over  a  sector  by  themselves.  Gradually,  as  their 
numbers  increased  and  more  reserves,  fresh  from  the  States,  were  placed  in  training 
behind  the  lines,  the  American  boys  went  in  in  substantial  numbers.  Already  they  had 
displayed  their  splendid  fighting  qualities  and  had  demonstrated  that  as  soldiers  they 
had  no  superiors.  Incidentally,  it  did  not  take  them  long  to  convince  the  enemy  that 
contrary  to  their  own  opinions,  they  themselves  were  not  invincible. 

On  August  30th,  1918,  the  American  forces  took  over  the  first  American  sector,  in 
preparation  for  the  St.  Mihiel  offensive.  The  American  line  was  soon  extended  across 
the  Meuse  River  to  the  west  edge  of  the  Argonne  Forest.  The  concentration  of  tanks, 
aviation  units,  artillery  equipment,  and  materials  of  all  kinds  for  this  first  great  American 
offensive  was  enormous.  The  scores  of  elements  of  a  complete  army  were  moulded 
together,  with  American  railroad  and  American  service  of  supply  units  throughout.  The 
concentration  included  the  bringing  up  of  approximately  600,000  troops.  The  French 
Independent  Air  Force,  together  with  British  bombing  units  and  American  Air  forces, 
placed  the  greatest  aviation  personnel  that  ever  took  part  in  any  Western  Front  offensive 
under  the  direct  command  of  General  Pershing. 

On  the  day  after  they  had  taken  the  St.  Mihiel  Salient  a  great  share  of  the  corps 
and  army  artillery  that  had  operated  in  that  offensive  were  on  the  move  toward  the  area 
back  of  the  line  between  the  Meuse  River  and  the  western  edge  of  the  Argonne.  The 
German  General  Staff  was  well  aware  of  the  consequences  of  an  American  success  along 
this  line,  and  it  was  determined  to  use  every  available  American  division  in  an  effort 
to  force  a  decision  at  this  point.  The  attack  began  on  September  26th.  The  work  of 
the  American  army  and  of  the  American  engineers  in  this  drive  will  forever  remain  in

the  memory  of  generations  to  come.  Forcing  their  way  through  the  densely  wooded 
and  shell  torn  areas,  their  fight  was  one  of  the  most  brilliant  battles  of  the  war.  The 
offensive  was  maintained  until  October  4th  in  the  face  of  innumerable  wooded  patches 
of  snipers  and  concealed  machine  gunners. 

Fresh  troops  with  little  experience  were  thrown  in  with  their  seasoned  comrades, 
who  had  become  veterans  over  night  with  this  most  crucial  battle  as  their  teacher.  The 
second  phase  began  with  a  renewed  attack  all  along  the  front  on  October  4th.  More 
positions  were  taken  with  a  precision  and  speed  that  always  characterized  the  Yank 
army.  Their  dogged  offensive  was  wearing  down  the  enemy,  who,  continuing  desper- 
ately by  throwing  his  best  troops  against  them,  was  helpless  before  the  spectacular 
advance. 

At  this  juncture  two  divisions  were  dispatched  to  Belgium  to  help  the  French  army 
near  Ypres.  On  October  23d,  the  last  phase  of  the  Meuse-Argonne  offensive  began. 
Violent  counter  attacks  by  the  enemy  lost  him  heavily,  while  a  regrouping  of  the  Amer- 
ican force  was  going  on  for  the  final  drive.  Plain  evidences  of  loss  of  morale  in  the  enemy 
forces  gave  our  men  added  courage  and  spirit,  and  finally,  using  comparatively  fresh 
divisions,  the  last  advance  was  begun  on  November  1st.  It  was  apparent  at  this  time 
that  the  end  was  near  for  the  Boche.  Our  increased  artillery  support  did  remarkable 
work  in  supporting  the  infantry,  which  by  its  dashing  advance  of  the  several  weeks 
preceding  had  destroyed  the  Hun's  will  to  resist. 

Between  September  26th  and  November  6th  they  had  taken  26,059  prisoners  and 
468  guns  on  this  front. 


The  divisions  engaged  in  this,  the  most  important  of  America's  battles  in  the  Eu- 
ropean war,  were  the  1st,  2d,  3d,  4th,  5th,  26th,  28th,  29th,  32d,  33d,  35th,  37th,  42d, 
77th,  78th,  79th,  80th,  82d,  89th,  90th  and  91st.  Many  of  these  divisions  remained  in 
line  for  a  length  of  time  that  required  nerves  of  steel  while  still  others  were  put  back  in 
the  line  after  only  a  few  days  of  rest. 

When  the  armistice  was  signed  following  a  complete  routing  of  the  enemy  by  Amer- 
icans in  the  Argonne  Forest  there  were  in  France,  according  to  General  Pershing,  ap- 
proximately 2,053,347  troops,  less  the  casualties.  Of  this  total  there  were  1,338,169 
combatant  troops.  Up  to  November  18th  the  losses  were:  Killed  and  wounded,  36,145; 
died  of  disease,  14,811;  deaths  unclassified,  2,204;  wounded  179,625;  prisoners,  2,163; 
missing  in  action  1,160.  As  against  this  casualty  total,  the  American  forces  captured 
about  44,000  prisoners  and  1,400  guns,  howitzers  and  trench  mortars. 

In  this  short  summary  of  the  principal  activities  of  the  United  States'  part  in  the 
great  war  it  is  obviously  impossible  to  more  than  skim  over  the  various  features  of  the 
great  war  machinery.  The  heroism  and  gallantry  of  the  boys  who  fought  and  died  over 
there;  the  unceasing  devotion  and  courage  of  the  parents  and  citizens  at  home  who 
stood  by  them  so  unselfishly;  and  the  determination  of  everyone,  young  and  old,  to  unite 
for  the  common  cause,  setting  aside  their  personal  desires  and  interests,  was  responsible 
for  the  glorious  victory  in  which  America  was  so  conspicuously  instrumental  in  bringing 
about.  Outstripping  a  hundredfold  the  dimensions  of  any  previous  war  of  the  United

States,  the  task  accomplished  was  a  revelation  to  all  when  viewed  in  retrospect.  The 
accomplishments  of  the  Liberty  Loans,  the  devotion  of  the  millions  of  mothers  and 
sisters  in  behalf  of  the  Red  Cross,  the  wonderful  response  of  the  country  to  the  operation 
of  the  Selective  Service  Act  in  raising  an  army  of  millions — the  sacrifices  of  all,  at  home 
and  abroad,  were  universal  during  the  year  and  a  half  at  which  America  was  at  war. 

Loyalty  and  love  of  country  were  terms  with  new  meanings.  Sedition  was  lurking 
only  here  and  there,  and  this  was  promptly  done  away  with  through  the  efficient  secret 
service  department  and  popular  opinion.  The  four  million  American  boys  who  were 
under  arms,  many  of  them  at  the  front  and  the  remainder  eager  for  the  chance  to  jump 
in,  convinced  the  world  that  the  fighting  blood  that  gave  birth  to  their  nation  had  not 
been  diluted  through  the  riotous  living  of  a  century.  The  brave  lads  who  gave  their 
lives  and  are  now  buried  over  there  went  to  their  fate  with  hearts  full  of  joy,  and  in  a 
manner  that  gave  courage  to  the  veterans  of  four  years  who  fought  beside  them.  And 
their  brave  mothers  in  the  States  who  waited  in  vain  for  peace  to  bring  their  sons  back 
to  them,  made  the  greatest  sacrifices  within  their  power  with  a  courage  and  willingness 
that  was  unequalled  even  by  the  Spartans  themselves. 

When  the  history  of  the  great  European  struggle  is  permanently  written,  there  will 
be  no  more  brilliant  chapters  than  those  telling  of  the  part  played  by  the  United  States 
of  America  in  stamping  out  militaristic  autocracy  from  the  world.
